Many parents protect their children’s Internet activities using built-in Mac OS X Parental Controls. Below is an explanation of the steps you can take to make Lexia Reading work with Mac Parental Controls.
There are two steps:
- Add Lexia Reading to the allowed applications.
- Add access to the Lexia Reading websites (student.mylexia.com and update.lexialearning.com).
Below are pictures from a Mac 10.5 system that are examples of taking the steps above.
Open the Parental Controls in System Preferences. The Parental Controls window opens and the System tab is selected. Add the Lexia Reading Program to the list of applications to allow. Lexia will show up in the list of applications when you expand the other list.
Click on the on the Content tab of the Parental Controls to allow access to Lexia Reading’s websites.
Click the ‘+’ on the bottom of the Content screen to add the student.mylexia.com and update.lexialearning.com websites. When you click on the ‘+’ sign a Web site title box pops up. Enter both websites.
You are done. Your student is ready to run Lexia Reading.
