One thing to change

I think PowerUp Lexia is actually an okay learning tool, I’ve learned much from it. But the reason people say it’s so bad is likely because of what it does when you get things wrong. If you’re struggling on one thing in Lexia and you get something wrong 2 times, it only has one lesson for helping you, and most of the time it’s not what you’re struggling with. If PowerUp actually had more than one lesson to help you than it would help me a lot more. Other wise it’s not that bad.
