Lexie's reading environment is designed to support homeschooling, independent reading practice, and classroom needs. We want to help you make the best of it and help a child with dyslexia at home as easily as possible.

Learning never stops. No matter what’s going on in our lives. New situations require new strategies. Even though e-learning and homeschooling isn’t new for all, some might find it difficult.

Here are 5 tips about how Lexie supports children and their parents, especially the ones with dyslexia at home and in their reading practice efforts: 

1. Use OCR print to digital conversion to digitize important parts of textbooks

  • Take photos of textbooks pages
  • Add them as documents and combine them to create a lesson or learning material
  • Print them or convert to a book and read with Text to Speech

 

With a small amount of work, hard to read textbooks are now bits of lessons and easy to learn :)

2. Add Word documents or TruePDFs for easier reading and note-taking

  • Lexie converts Word docs and PDFs into ebooks or documents to make them editable
  • Style the added content in the reading setup in a way it will be perfectly readable to you
  • If you need to save anything from these materials you can create a note or a new document. 
  • You can group notes from print and from digital for easier learning

3. Keep the grip on your reading, fluency, and comprehension practice with short stories
