Your Child Deserves to Read with Confidence!

“It has been life changing for my teenage daughter. Literally and mentally. Lize has worked wonders in just a few months. She has been able to help change my daughter’s mindset, from the negative to the positive mindset, which I believe is number 1 key factor to success… I was afraid in the beginning that she would give up, as she gave up the traditional school, but … focusing on her structured literacy with Lize and Lexercise she has blossomed massively… this has also made my daughter participate in online school again … [She] is for the first time confident in the written word.  [Lexercise] is high quality teaching without the feeling of repetition (even though it is)! …

I am so very satisfied and happy with Lize as a dyslexia therapist and a wonderful teacher, and I can’t recommend Lexercise enough, as a matter of fact it has taken [much weight] off my shoulders. It’s been a hard and rough journey as a mother to try understand why my daughter struggled so much in school, after being diagnosed as a stealth dyslexic it has become clear all the struggles she must have had and the high stress levels she had gained and understanding how she was experiencing a whole day in traditional school was so draining to her. She is so much happier now than she has been in a long time, I’m very proud to recommend Lize and Lexercise!”

“My son is now confident and proud, no longer embarrassed and frustrated. He can read/spell on or above grade level. His ability to research, read for entertainment and communicate through writing finally match his intelligence level.

I had previously tried many programs only to feel more frustrated and lost than when we started.  Lexercise therapy with coaching has completely changed the trajectory of my child’s reading and writing. We are a homeschool family. I noticed that my autistic son, who is very high functioning and intelligent, was struggling to read and spell. As a former teacher, I used the tools I knew and employed several other programs that only added to both of our frustration. A friend mentioned that her son was enrolled in Lexercise, so I decided to investigate yet another program. It took one meeting with our coach, Sybil to know that this was different. She was so personable and knowledgeable. My son was tested/leveled and we got straight to work. Our weekly meetings with Sybil were crucial so that I understood how to consistently support and teach him throughout the week. Her modeling made me feel confident to teach him week to week, with each new skill. Sybil was available to answer any questions I had throughout the week as well. During our meeting time she was engaging and [my son] looked forward to meeting with her each week. I am so proud to say the after 15 months of hard work, my son has graduated from Lexercise. Some tears may have been shed because we will miss our weekly meetings with Sybil, so the moment was bittersweet. The difference in his reading and writing skills are drastically improved so much so that he is reaching an above grade level mastery. I also feel confident that I have the tools to effectively help him continue to grow. Our foundation is strong, and we can now build on it. I am also able to transfer the skills I learned to teaching my younger child. I have personally taught from many curriculums in my profession as well as homeschool, and I can confidently say this is the most effective way to teach reading and spelling I have used. I wish all children learned this method from the start.”

“My child was behind in all areas of reading, and her penmanship was atrocious. The Lexercise program puts all aspects of ELA together and works on each one.

The Lexercise program is quick to do each day as each skill builds on the next. The games online and the in person instruction have been invaluable.

Our therapist has been amazing. She is engaging, patient, and very practiced in the teaching style of the program. She is encouraging and has great rapport with my child through the screen.”

“I was desperately looking for a structured program to work through that provided real tools for confidence and success in writing for my child.

Lexercise has provided me and my child with a greater understanding of language ‘rules’ in a organized way. Applying segments are attainable and so useful.

I am grateful for the blessing of finding Lexercise. Rae Lynn is a favorite and we are so glad we started with her. Moving to parent-led (Basic Therapy) was very successful because of Rae Lynn and our foundation with her.”

“We needed extra help with reading because we were making very slow progress.  Joshua has gained a ton of confidence in reading. He’s now trying to read everything instead of shying away from it. He gained grade level in his reading level but his attitude about reading has been the best thing to come from sessions with his therapist Lauren through Lexercise.  The program is amazing. Lauren gave him lots of confidence and was super helpful with any questions I had or any resources needed.”

“I feel today that my daughter has more confidence to read and we have noticed that (her) reading fluency has improved in only 12 weeks.  I cannot speak highly enough about her therapist Lauren and the incredible impact she has had on my daughter’s reading fluency. Her professionalism, knowledge, and dedication throughout the entire program were truly remarkable… Even our daughter’s IEP teacher, who wasn’t aware of the program, noticed the remarkable progress. We are immensely grateful for everything Lauren has done for our daughter, and we highly recommend Lexercise to any family seeking expert help in improving their child’s reading abilities.”

“We chose Lexercise because it seemed like a good mix of one on one tutoring and student led computer work that my son could handle in addition to regular school work.

The Lexercise program and our amazing tutor, Mrs. Holderman, were able to dramatically improve my child’s spelling and writing skills in the course of one year. It gave him more confidence and many more tools to help him learn based on the way his brain retains information. His teacher was able to move at his pace and help him make progress quickly.

This is such a great program. I would recommend this to anyone with a child struggling with dyslexia. It is a great program that is not overwhelming for a child to manage. The material is easy to understand and very kid friendly where my child was eager to learn each day.”

“It didn’t take long to learn that our school (which we love for a lot of reasons!) would not be able to support Tate’s unique learning style since he was dyslexic. After only a few online searches, I saw so many good reviews of Lexercise especially from homeschool mom blogs. The online screening was easy to use and Tate and I [completed] it quickly from my phone one morning. The free consultation with a therapist was not a sales pitch, but included a lot of information about dyslexia, public school norms, and my son’s reading development that I just did not know before. I could tell this therapist was genuinely in this business because of her love of students and literacy.

We knew something was different about how Tate was learning to read from a young age, but it didn’t seem like his teacher’s noticed. I felt so relieved that we weren’t crazy and that there was an explanation for his struggles when his older siblings had a much easier time with it. He was dyslexic but it wasn’t the end of the world! A fabulous program has already been created. Tate was putting in more work than his siblings but just not making any progress. We were both frustrated but I didn’t want him to know that I was just a[s] upset as he was. Lexercise has built in levels and goals we could celebrate and Tate and I both felt like we were productive each day he worked on his games. It just became our new routine to do games or a lesson daily and we finished the whole program in only 7 months. Lexercise is expensive, but my husband and I knew that without Tate learning how to read and ultimately enjoy school than he may not even go on to college. We temporarily paused saving for college to pay for Lexercise and it was 100% the right choice.

A parent would have nothing to lose with trying Lexercise. Especially since there is a guarantee they’ll jump up a grade level in 8 weeks! Our therapist, Mindi, is a household name for our family for good reason! She was so encouraging to both Tate and myself and was always on call to talk me through school questions or book reviews. If I ever see her, I’m going to hug her and Tate will too! Tate’s teachers could not believe the change in him as he worked on Lexercise. It all had to do with his confidence. Tate truly knows and believes there is nothing wrong with him, he just learns differently and his school didn’t know how to support that. Now, he can support himself (with us helping!) and also advocate for his needs. I also didn’t realize how much his handwriting would improve once he started forming the letters the ‘correct’ way. That’s another big bonus to the Lexercise material. This photo was taken the day we celebrated Tate completing Lexercise! We surprised him with a mini shopping spree to buy some books.”

“After using several different phonics/reading programs for my two dyslexic sons, with very little progress, I was desperate for something that worked. After an extremely informative phone consultation with our therapist, I was hopeful that Lexercise was the answer.

Both of my sons made phenomenal progress through the Lexercise program and are now beginning a new school year completely different students. They have gained confidence in reading aloud, especially in group settings. They have a better appreciation of literature and the enjoyment it gives. Most importantly, they now have tools at their disposal to work through spelling and decoding challenges that arise in their daily work. Our therapist was so supportive and knowledgeable. She did an amazing job troubleshooting every challenge and catering to each child’s unique personality and needs. Through her patience and persistence, she has impacted their lives and futures in a tremendous way. We are so grateful!

The Lexercise program is a process you can trust. It is practical, methodical, and proven. As a homeschool mom, the knowledge and support I received was invaluable. It broadened my teaching skills in a way that will benefit all my children for years to come. It truly is an investment in your child’s future.”

“COVID and her first-grade class failed to give my granddaughter the skills she needed to succeed in reading. Lexercise had the expertise and validated learning she needed.

When my granddaughter was in second grade, she would avoid reading at all costs and cry if asked to read. She struggled reading any words. Now she wants to read on her own and can decode words like ‘complimentary’ and harder 5-syllable words. She can be an independent learner now and for the rest of her life because she can R-E-A-D!

Having been a Special Education teacher before homeschooling my granddaughter, I agreed with Lexercise using all the best in educating struggling readers. I joined in her learning, following along with her progress as it is entertaining to her level. I learned a few ‘word mastery’ information I never knew, at least that I remember. My granddaughter needed someone to guide her in the reading rules more than just once in a lesson book. I am thankful for Lexercise as it gave her all the skills she needed to decode words. The level system was motivational for her, but the thing she loved the most was the caterpillar that popped up with correct words occasionally. Lexercise follows the best practices in decoding skills. I highly recommend this program. Yes, it costs money but the rewards are beyond monetary value. I can’t imagine getting this level of one-on-one care within a public school.”

“Lexercise has helped our child go from fumbling through every word to not only reading but comprehending and engaging in the material. Our son’s confidence in reading and comprehension has improved 1000 percent, absolutely life-changing for us as a family.

Dyslexia is a terrible disability to try and overcome, especially for young adults that have been overlooked in the public school system. Finding the proper educational treatment modality is crucial when years of neglect of the disability have taken place. Lexercise has its own way of breaking down the disability and reteaching proper reading techniques through an interactive game play that incorporates both tactile and phonetic transcription in a way that allows the child to have fun while absorbing the information like a sponge. Lexercise was also very gracious in granting our child a 12 week scholarship that has undoubtedly changed his life. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you Lexercise.

Sarah Ward’s passion for teaching children to read is a shining light in a dim world. The relationship that she has built with our son over the past 12 weeks is without parallel, her professionalism, punctuality, and teaching techniques go far beyond any expectations we could have ever imagined. Thank you Sarah and we look forward to our continued success.”

“My son Roman has received services since he was in preschool, but he did not start Lexercise until the end of 6th grade and I really wish I had found this program sooner! If I can only emphasize one thing about the program is, it works. We needed it years ago for our son but I am so grateful we are doing it now. I was concerned with his reading, spelling and writing being below grade level and going into middle school, even after the help the school was providing him. That’s when I started to look for outside help and found Lexercise. I chose basic therapy since I’ve spent years of being his support and tutor at home that I felt I could do it and that the knowledge I learn could only help me further continue that role for him. His therapist is Camille Allred and she is an amazing teacher and support to us. She answers every question we have and gladly checks in with us to make sure we are doing well in the program. It is great to have Camille as a resource.

We are only halfway through and I just love the structure of the program. Not only does the repetition built into the program help, but it also builds their confidence. The program has now helped him in multiple areas of struggle. He no longer often asks how to spell a word; his writing speed and fluency have improved and he has become a more confident reader.

I asked my son Roman to write a testimonial and this is what he had to say, ‘Lexercise is a really good learning system by helping kids any age get over their struggles in school or other. This really helped me get over reading and writing struggles and I’m only half way done.’

If you’re on the fence, you will not be disappointed. And if you’re able to begin the program at an earlier age than my son, I would recommend that. We make the time for it but middle school is faster pace and there was much more flexibility during those elementary school years. I really do love the program and it didn’t take me very long to come to that conclusion. Thank you, Camille, and thank you Lexercise.”

“My son is Dyslexic, has Dysgraphia and ADHD, and year over year the interventions he was receiving at school weren’t helping him. The academic gap kept getting bigger and bigger. I worked in the education system he was in and had faith that we would get him caught up, but finally, when he was going into 8th grade many grade levels behind, I knew I had to do something outside of school. One of the best reading teachers I’ve ever known of had gone to work for Lexercise. I knew she would only have chosen the best reading program to use daily with struggling readers. I called her and signed up my son.

I was devastated when our personal tutor assessed my son and I found out he was functioning on a 1st grade reading level. I felt like a failure as both a parent and an educator. I read to him as a child. There are books in our home. How did I not know the gap was so BIG? I knew then we had to commit ourselves to him practicing 4 days a week and meeting with his [therapist] weekly. We had a year before high school and he could not go into 9th grade behind. He’s an athlete and the amount of work involving reading would bury him if he wasn’t on grade level. It was a daunting task, 8 grade levels of reading in a year, but he’s smart and had learned to cope by mostly memorizing what he was hearing in class, so I had faith. I can’t tell you we were perfect, but 90% of the time we were on track with games 4x a week and weekly tutoring for his 8th grade year and the summer before he started 9th grade. He got through level 13 in that time and I’m super proud to report that he started high school at a 9.5 reading level! He also passed his end of course Algebra I exam over the summer getting him one credit ahead starting high school. Something he couldn’t have done without his much improved reading ability thanks to his awesome personal [therapist] Ms. Shelley (Yeater) and Lexercise! We’ve been so impressed with his progress that we’re not stopping now that he’s on grade level. We’re committed to completing the program to make sure he has all the tools he needs to be successful in the future. I’m so grateful for the program and our [therapist] Ms. Shelley for encouraging our son to stick with it all along the way.

I highly recommend Lexercise and Ms. Shelley to any family who is looking for a reading program that works and a [therapist] who cares. It is well worth the investment in your child’s future. I highly recommend jumping in early when you first realize your child is struggling; I wish I could go back and do it over. However, I’m also an example of the fact that it’s never too late to get your child the help they need to be successful academically.”

“My son has dyslexia and was still not reading or even able to identify letters. (I thought he just wasn’t interested in words or letters and that’s why he wasn’t ‘getting it’.) When he was about 7 1/2 he said, ‘Mom, I can’t read, and I want to learn.’ I knew he had an issue then. It was the first time he’d opened up about it. When I would ask before he would just shut down…. Uriah has gone from unable to read or identify letters to an emerging reader. I’ve been so impressed with his building confidence and how the program works. It’s been incredible watching him grow and realize he can do something he didn’t think he could. We love Lauren (Belline). She is Uriah’s therapist. She’s always asking him questions to get to know him and connect with him. She always encourages him and works with him even when he’s not cooperating. It’s hard work, and she recognizes that. I really appreciate that about her.”

“My son started the program at pre-K level… He enjoyed the games and independent activities. We saw tremendous progress in his speed of sounding out words, reading speed and ability, words he committed to memory, and understanding of phonics. The quick lessons at home were helpful to keep me knowledgeable and in-the-loop as his primary teacher for homeschooling. Rhonda (Hill) was patient and customized the Lexercise games and learning objectives to fit his needs and what was working/not working….Rhonda also helped motivate him with the point system within Lexercise. After meeting goals, he could pick an incentive with us (his parents) and something with Rhonda (maybe extra points, new book). [Our] picture is a Mommy-Son date reading new books together.  Lexercise is a great resource especially if in an area with limited dyslexia interventionists. He gained so much confidence reading, writing, and sounding out words.”

“Lexercise has been nothing short of a miracle for my 7yr old son. I have been homeschooling for 2 years and I started to notice he was really having difficulties in first grade and not grasping the Language Arts program of his curriculum. When we started therapy, he was reading at a preschool level and with much frustration and tears! Only three months later, he has gone up 2 grade levels! He loves playing the games every day and looks forward to his weekly sessions with Terra, his therapist. She has been so kind and patient, always keeping him engaged during his sessions. I learned so much myself during this time and she helped me become a better teacher for him. He is much more confident in his reading and writing now and looks forward to his next challenge!”

“My son has excelled since he started Lexercise and meeting with his tutor, Greg Parent. He wakes up early every Tuesday to meet with Mr. Greg! He enjoys his time and he is learning in leaps and bounds. My son made the Honor roll his first semester of middle school. This is something I never thought possible due to his learning profile.

“My son, academically, has gained more confidence and self-esteem. His reading and spelling test have gone from major fails to successes. Before starting the program, reading would create a lot of persuasion, arguing, anxiety and mostly a lot of crying and self doubt. My son felt like he would never learn how to read and would get discouraged and very upset. He could not understand why reading came so easily to his classmates but was such a nightmare for him. Now, he is in third grade, still struggles to read but can read up to grade 1 books. We are continuing the program and I know he will soon catch up. His teachers are impressed with his learning improvement. His anxiety to attend school has greatly diminish which is beautiful to see.”

Elyse (Loudenbarger), our tutor is our angel! …She is flexible, kind and provides solutions for any obstacles that might arise. She is also a great support for me, the mom! Raising a child with learning difficulties paired with anxiety and a few other challenges often feels overwhelming and lonely but …with Elyse’s support I feel hopeful and reassured that my son will have a bright future…The program might seem expensive and time consuming, but it is worth every penny and the time. The program itself provides a lot of articles, information, games, and much more. With Lexercise and Elyse I feel calmer, happier, and confident.”

“We had hit a point in our reading instruction that we just were not progressing, our son was beginning to dread reading and getting very frustrated[…]. I researched different options and heard from many parents about the success they found with Lexercise. […]

Nicole has been such a HUGE part of our journey! As a parent who was just beginning to learn about dyslexia, I was very overwhelmed, unconfident, and worried that I was failing my son or unable to provide him with what he needed. From our first conversation, Nicole was extremely positive, educated, and informed on dyslexia and how she could help. […] Our son responded to her genuine encouragement and enthusiasm, and she was able to really hone in on the areas that he needed extra help, meet him where he’s at and challenge him without overwhelming him. As a parent, she was SO responsive to my messages and questions. She was very encouraging to me, helping me with the parent resource side of things, as well as providing me thoughtful feedback and encouragement that really helped me grow in my own understanding of dyslexia and capabilities in how I can help my son. […]

Our son[‘s] confidence has continued to build. He also really enjoys the computer instruction throughout the week. He does his practice every day without complaint, and he loves unlocking new levels and seeing his points increase, and meeting his goals. I also really like how Lexercise lays out the parent portion – I always know exactly what he and I need to do together to strengthen his skills and the activities are often enjoyable and varied. I feel like we have a solid partner in his reading journey!

The combination of the Lexercise program with Nicole’s guidance, encouragement, and expertise has been a game-changer for our son. He’s now reading for fun on his own!! He has the ability and confidence now to try reading new things without hesitation. It’s been incredible to see his confidence just skyrocket with this program. And his spelling! Wow! That was one surprise I hadn’t anticipated. I really thought we’d have to work on reading first, and spelling would come much later down the road. His spelling actually improved after just the first lesson, and he continues to use his skills in all he writes. We are very happy with the continued results.”

“After reviewing several programs, it seemed like the best fit. I like that it has direct lessons but then several days of independent practice to review what was taught. My son has trouble focusing for long periods of time. The length of the daily practice works well for him. If the direct lesson is a long one, I can break it into two sessions to make it work for my son. The flexibility in the program is key for us.

My son was about two school years behind in reading. It also took him a very long time to write even one sentence. Writing frustrated him as much as reading, if not more. We’ve only been doing the program for about three months and I’ve seen such growth in him. He is able to consistently read and spell multi-syllable words and words with consonant blends. The best part is watching him gain confidence in his abilities. He’s actually said multiple times that he finds the program fun.”

“…[My son] was unable to spell and he became increasingly anxious and under confident. I couldn’t get any support for my son through his school and I was worried that, in time, this would have a detrimental impact on his future studies…. The program has been life changing. [My son] has learnt how to see patterns and use tools to spell words. He went from writing one sentence where he was unable to spell one word correctly to writing several sentences with the odd incorrect word. [He] has grown in confidence and has been able to acknowledge himself the improvement he has made. As a mum, I feel happier that he is better prepared for secondary school and that he is not so anxious to put pen to paper.

The website is user friendly. The resources are fantastic. Although I didn’t feel the need to contact [our therapist], I knew I could contact her if I needed to. She always replied promptly and provided support as and when I needed it. She also emailed me from time to time to see how things were going and to let me know that she was checking in on [my son]’s progress. This program is worth every penny and although it does demand dedication from both the child and parent, it is certainly worth it in the end.”

The steps to learning are scaffolded in such a way that he has truly been able to master the concepts before him. Lexercise has restored his will to try, and even more importantly, his joy. He beams that he is able to accomplish what he so desperately has desired for years, the ability to fluently read. Lexercise is hard work, but it’s magic as well. I would highly recommend this program to anyone looking for a way to reach readers who are struggling. It has meant the world to us.”

“The lockdowns caused a big learning gap for our son. When lockdowns happened, he was in kindergarten so going back to school in 1st grade, we noticed he was not doing well on assessments. I found Lexercise … Our son has made HUGE strides. On school assessment, he improved 106% and was advanced to 2nd grade to begin this year. He is reading so much better now and is even mastering inflection with different punctuation when reading. Comprehension is much improved as well…Camille DeGomez […] was kind, patient. and supportive. She always responded to messages and was always available. She connected with my son and encouraged him through all the lessons. We are very grateful for the individual attention our son received and are pleased that he is now on track with his reading proficiency.”

“I am thankful for Lexercise…Once [my son] sensed his improvement, there was no turning back. The most gratifying part of this phase of [his] life, was to see his self-confidence flourish alongside his reading skills. Today, [he] has overcome his dyslexia so dramatically, that he is an A-student in Honors English as a high school junior, and plans to take Advanced Placement (AP) English Literature next year as a senior. He will soon be applying to some of the top universities in the country. The vicious cycle that once left him feeling ‘dumb’ (reading poorly > not being interested > therefore continuing to read poorly) was obviously never about his intelligence. Lexercise was the key tool that helped [him] to unlock not only his reading potential, but his self-confidence…he… no longer feels like his dyslexia is a ‘disability.’ In fact, we have always marveled at the different way [his] brain works, how he troubleshoots solutions to all kinds of problems that the rest of us ‘non-dyslexics’ in the family didn’t imagine. We are very proud of who he has become. Thank you, Lexercise!”

“I was struggling at school and I wasn’t happy. I hated school and used to take lots of water breaks. I used to hide in the restroom and [would’ve] done anything to avoid schoolwork. I was so unhappy in school that I used to cry myself to sleep at night…

…When I started Lexercise, I was at a Pre-K reading level, and now I have completed the course. Now I can read at any level but tested at a 95% at a 9th grade reading level. I am very happy that I have completed the Lexercise course, and I’m not struggling anymore. In fact, I’m the top reader in my grade.

I would highly recommend Lexercise to anyone who is struggling at school. Never let dyslexia hold you back!”

“Aside from it completely working, the big takeaway for me was that it gave me the tools as a parent to be able to help my kids and this was not something I could find anywhere else….The program is just so manageable and it’s so structured – so doable.  I think anyone can do it.”

“My son struggled horribly last year…we sought out services of a psychologist…had him tested…the results were that he was dyslexic…Our doctor recognized Lexercise as a really good program that could be beneficial to him…so we signed up for the Basic Therapy Program…I am seeing an improvement in his grades. I am seeing more consistent spelling and I feel like his reading fluency and comprehension are also improving….it’s wonderful seeing the improvement that we have already.”

“… I have to tell you, I had [my son]’s end of year IEP meeting yesterday. Here is a quote from the committee I met with:

‘In January [my son] was reading at the beginning of 2nd grade level, now he is reading at the end of 4th grade level. We’ve never seen such a huge jump in progress in that short of time. That tutor [Laura Sargent Gerlach] you have is a miracle worker!’

I couldn’t agree more! Thank you so much for all your help with him, it’s truly amazing the progress he made in reading.”

“I just wanted to let you know that after only 2 weeks of following your online program my child is making jaw-dropping progress. She just spelled 50 basic words with near perfect accuracy and is reading SO much better. Thank you so much. We were worried and slogging through material with little progress on our own…wondering what was wrong. Also, she is not mixing up her letters near as much and quickly deciphering words that used to leave her tongue-tied when we would go through them quickly. I am so relieved and truly grateful. And the orator has a lovely, lovely voice.”

“I did some research and found Lexercise… [I] knew there was a trial period, so what did I have to lose?

We’re very excited that we’ve done it. He started out on a Kindergarten level… and now he’s reading at a 2nd grade level… it’s amazing… we’re so excited!

I have seen that he has such a confidence now. Before, he didn’t really want to read… now that he does have a confidence of reading [he] actually wants to read.”

“I simply cannot thank you all enough for your amazing program. Had it not been for you, my daughter would most likely still be crying in frustration as she desperately tried to read. It was horrible to watch as a parent…I felt so helpless. Now, seeing her read effortlessly is such a relief. Thank you all for the amazing work you do.

I was also very impressed with how quickly she improved. We were not even in the program a full year and she went from reading at a preschool level to 2nd grade level. Our instructor, Laura, greatly encouraged and uplifted my daughter through each step of the process. She has blossomed into a confident reader.”

“I cannot say enough good things about Lexercise and the reading therapy that you have provided to [my son]. If it wasn’t for Lexercise we would still really be struggling. We do not live in an area where structured reading therapy is available or even known about much. The way Lexercise works has really been such a blessing for us. It has been well worth the time and the cost… SO thank you, thank you, thank you!”

“I was skeptical to start Lexercise. The cost was high we than other programs and I was not sure if it was going to be a waste of time. I am glad to say that I was proven wrong. In six months, [name redacted] Lexile score went up 300 points. What was even more impressive is that during the six months, we moved from Germany to the United States. Our therapist was flexible and the lexercise platform made it easy to do the work from anywhere at anytime. I would recommend this program for any child struggling with reading.”

“I just wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude for Lindsey [Blackburn]. Since starting her work with Lindsey and Lexercise [my child] has made enormous gains in her ability to read, spell, handwriting, organization, and approach to words. It’s been amazing from a purely academic standpoint.

However what I am the most thankful for is Lindsey’s approach to [my child]. She just “gets” her and is so able to inspire and motivate [my child] to keep  doing the hard stuff and reading has been so hard for her. She hated it. Lindsey is a gifted, talented educator and we feel so lucky to have found her.

… She says her favorite school subject is reading. That made me cry… Thanks for all the hard work you all do at Lexercise it makes such a difference.”

“My son worked throughout the years with multiple tutors before we found the Lexercise program. The key reasons that encouraged us to try this program were the flexibility in schedule, the daily reinforcement through the online games and the guarantee that he would improve one grade level in two months or his third month was free. My son had limited success with tutors in the past and was 4 years behind grade level in reading when he began working with Tori. Within a month, I noticed he was more confident and was not complaining about school reading assignments. His teachers commented that he would now volunteer to read aloud in class.

He is typically anxious at the end of the school year when he takes the end of year testing… The icing on the cake for me happened when I asked him how his reading and spelling testing went and he said, ‘It went pretty well. Tori has helped me a lot.’ He went on to tell me in his own words how her methodology had translated into success in a concrete way.

We are now integrating a targeted writing piece into his work with Tori. It is obvious to both my son and I that she has the background and experience to help. We feel lucky to have found Lexercise.”

“Our family is currently doing Lexercise with our 7 year old dyslexic son. He is doing well and loves it. We [meet for therapy] at home once per week online with my laptop and a webcam. Our son then has prescriptive Lexercise games to do daily. I also have lesson material sent to me via email to work with him as well. Our 18 year old eldest son is dyslexic as well. Years ago we tutored with Sandie Barrie-Blackley the Founder of Lexercise in her private practice. She is a great [therapist] and my son did excellent. We loaded our children in the car and drove to the appointment and waited while our son tutored.

Fast forward to today – would I choose to drive to a tutor lesson or Lexercise in the comfort of my home? I love having tutoring in my home and not having to travel. Sandie was a great tutor, but I enjoy Lexercise at home and am thankful she had the vision to create it.”
