Lexia 

Your child has just been introduced to a programme called Lexia Reading Core 5 which they use on our ipads. This programme helps the children with their reading and spelling skills. The children enjoy playing the educational games and we have seen a real improvement in their reading and spelling ability from using this programme. Your child is also able to access this from home. 

Your child can use Lexia through the internet by going to the following website-

When asked for your teacher's email, please input  r.smits@borrowdale.cumbria.sch.uk

Your child then needs to use the login and password that were provided. 

You can also download the Lexia App on iPad or Android tablets by searching for ‘Lexia Reading Core5 UK’
