How do I disable a PowerUp strand?
You can disable a PowerUp strand by editing the student's account settings in myLexia.
In myLexia, select Manage.
Select Students.
Search for the student, using the search box for Student Name or Username.
Select the pencil icon to the right of the student's name.
In the Edit Student window, select Reading Program.
For the strand you want to disable, select the Edit button for that strand (for example, Edit Word Study).
In the Edit Placement window, deselect the checkbox next to the Enable option. Disabling a strand will gray out all editable fields.
Select Update and Save.
The next time the student logs in, they will see a grayed-out box for the disabled strand on their dashboard and will not be able to open that strand.
Does disabling a strand delete the student's progress and data?
No. If a PowerUp strand is disabled, you can still see any progress the student previously made in the strand on their Skills Report. If you enable the strand again, the student will resume where they left off before the strand was disabled.
