In reply to Jackie. Thanks for reaching out Jackie! If you're using it in a classroom setting, a blended learning station rotation model is a great option. If you are looking for more home use, you might create an incentive program by setting goals alongside with families that feel attainable for them and their schedule.

Can you give me tips on Lexia power up with students. The school has 60 licences and it’s hard to prioritise. Also some students don’t want to use it and some students don’t do the time at home.
