301: Tech Tool for Dyslexia: How Lexercise Can Help Homeschoolers

 


This episode with guest Tauna Meyer  from Proverbial Homemaker discusses Lexercise, a tech tool designed to help homeschooling families with children who have dyslexia. Tauna is sponsored by Lexercise but is really seeing a difference with her son.


Key Points:



  • Homeschooling a child with dyslexia can be challenging, especially when traditional methods fail. Finding affordable and effective support can be difficult.
  • Lexercise is a research-based, online program that uses the Orton-Gillingham approach to support children with dyslexia. It offers structured literacy, gamified practice, and therapist guidance.

Benefits:





    • Improved reading fluency and confidence
    • Addresses letter formation, spelling, and language processing issues
    • Offers self-paced video lessons from dyslexia experts
    • Provides daily practice games with points and rewards
    • Extensive documentation and support, including access to a therapist
    • More affordable than in-person therapy options



Considerations:





    • Screen time management may be necessary
    • The program uses “word neighborhood” rules and “memory hooks” which may be unfamiliar to some parents
    • The basic program may require additional support for children with severe dyslexia
