Expert-Guided Reading Help for Homeschool Parents.
When reading, writing, or spelling isn't clicking, you don't need to become a literacy expert to help your child. You need a clear plan, the right program, and expert support to guide you.
What We Hear From Homeschool Parents
Parents often tell us their child won't read out loud, or keeps missing the same words no matter how many times they practice. Others say their child can read the individual words in a story but can't tell you what they just read. Some notice their child is struggling with something that came easily to their other kids.
If any of this sounds familiar, you're not alone, and it's solvable with the right reading intervention.
Built by Experts, Tailored for Home
Basic Therapy is Lexercise's online homeschool reading curriculum for delayed readers or dyslexic students. It's built on Orton-Gillingham, a structured literacy approach backed by decades of reading research.
Every lesson is narrated by Sandie Barrie Blackley, Lexercise's co-founder, a speech-language pathologist with 40+ years' experience, and a homeschool mom herself. She built this reading intervention program, so you can sit with your child and work through each narrated lesson together, side by side, instead of having to teach it yourself.
Lessons made to teach at home
Every Basic Therapy lesson is scripted, narrated, and built on the science of reading. You’ll always know your next steps — no planning required.

Most phonics apps and workbooks aren't personalized to your specific child's needs and don't adjust based on what is and isn't working. Basic Therapy is a homeschool dyslexia program guided by an expert-built curriculum and gives you direct access to a Lexercise therapist for support along the way.
