IXL is one of our favorite websites to use for homeschooling. IXL offers IXL Math and IXL Language Arts to it’s users. This program is an educational supplement to be used as extra practice, not as a stand-alone curriculum.
We have been using IXL for years now and this is one vendor we are always excited to see on the Crew Vendor List. Our membership to IXL has been such a blessing in our homeschooling. My children enjoy using the website and learning with it.
My children that use IXL are ages 6, 11, and 13. Each uses IXL at their own pace and can review the lessons they are learning as needed through the program since it is just simple, yet thorough, practice for them. IXL provides a wonderful place to learn that they truly enjoy.
IXL isn’t a cutesy website. This website is clean and to the point in lesson style. You won’t find a lot of distraction or over the top imaging on this site but you will find a great deal of learning that is intriguing and fun for your children.
Lesson answers are often multiple choice, making selections easy to make and understand. Some lessons are easier to answer and complete than others, just as in a textbook. How quickly and easily your child can use this website will depend on how well your child learns and your child’s maturity level in following directions educationally.
IXL Math covers all grade levels. Lessons are provided by Letter from Level-A through Level-N. Most lessons have over 200 skills to be taught through the program. Level-A begins with number concepts and understanding numbers, while Level-N teaches equations of cosign functions and graphing complex numbers. You will find everything Math covered in IXL Math.
IXL Language Arts begins at Level D and takes you through Level-J skills. This program begins around a 3rd-4th grade level for students. IXL does plan to add more to this program over time and have been slowly working on that goal. IXL Language Arts covers things like identifying plurals, correcting capitalization errors, how modifiers are used, using parallel structure and so much more.
Parents can try out the lessons as well to see what the student will cover. Simply click the lesson and it will start. This is a great way to know if this concept is the right one for your child.
Students don’t have to work on a certain grade level through this program either. You can choose any level at any time and cover that concept or practice. This is great for independent learners. It also allows you to adapt the program to any curriculum you are learning through already.
