Frequently Asked Questions
1. How much is language therapy?
Online language therapy through Lexercise starts at $450 per month, which includes four 45-minute, one-on-one teaching sessions, daily online practice games, and parent support.
2. When should I start language therapy for my child with reading difficulty?
As soon as you notice your child having uncharacteristic difficulty with reading or reading comprehension, you should seek intervention. Don't wait. Research is clear: students who receive early on are highly likely to catch up to peers, whereas those whose treatment is delayed will continue to struggle. (Vellutino et al, 1996)
3. Can you really teach my child to read?
Students respond very well to Orton-Gillingham/ structured literacy instruction. Students who attend classes consistently and practice daily see a great increase in their letter-sound association, decoding, and spelling skills after a few months. This success generates renewed self-confidence in the child's learning experience.

4. Is my child too young/ too old for reading intervention?
Lexercise is designed for students ages 6 and up. We work with students of all ages, even adults.

- Our sessions are conversational and individualized.
- We utilize technology to engage students.
- Sessions are fast-paced and transition quickly between activities.
- The student's practice portal is visually engaging, timed, and challenging.
