These instructions are for educators or caregivers who need to install Lexia English on one or a few iPads. If your school or district uses a management system to manage apps on student iPads, check with your IT department about the best way to make sure that Lexia English is installed on student iPads.
Instructions
Check Lexia English System Requirements to make sure your iPad is ready to run Lexia English.
The system requirements list the available space needed to download the app. If you are not sure how much space is available on your iPad, look in Settings > General > iPad Storage.
Search the App Store for the Lexia English app.
Select Get or the download icon to download the app (it’s free!), or Update to install the most recent version on your iPad.
Once the Lexia English app is downloaded, open it.
If this is the first time Lexia English is used on this device, you may see a pop-up window instructing you to enable the microphone in the iPad app settings: “English would like to access the microphone. Enable microphone to recognize.”
Tap OK.
After students tap OK, they should be able to proceed with logging in and calibrating the headset.
If you aren’t sure whether access to the microphone was successful, from the iPad’s home screen, tap Settings > Privacy > Microphone and look for the app “English.” Make sure that the toggle is set to on (it should be green).
You may want to have an adult complete this step for your students. For school-managed devices, contact your school or district IT team if you can't enable microphone access.
Once the microphone is enabled, the pop-up window will disappear and you should see a screen that says “Lexia English -- Please Set Up This Device.”
Enter the email of a teacher who has a myLexia account.
Once the device is set up, you should see your school or district name displayed on the login screen.
