Lexia Reading S.O.S. is an interactive reading development program for older learners who have difficulty reading. It starts with basic first grade reading skills and works up to advanced decoding and comprehension. S.O.S. introduces words in various exercises that help learners gain reading skills typically taught in grades 1 – 7.

The learners get voice prompts as they work through activities for practicing decoding skills, early comprehension, and keyboard skills. They control their own activities but each learner must show both competency and fluency in each skill before moving on.

Level 1, 2, and 3 activities deal with word attack strategies needed for automatic word recognition. Exercises include one- and two-syllable words, as well as sentences and paragraphs to provide practice in applying word attack strategies to contextual material. The activities in Level 4 are designed to introduce word attack strategies for multi-syllable words containing open and consonant -le syllables, and hard and soft c and g. The exercises in Level 5 reinforce reading of words with prefixes and suffice, recognition of Latin prefixes and suffixes, and division of words into prefix, root, and suffix. Advanced decoding and comprehension skills are strengthened through activities.
