Set Up MyLexia
You will need to set up accounts for your students to use with Lexia Reading. This can be done online through the MyLexia website, or en masse by importing a new list of students or migrating existing Lexia users from older Lexia software. An import or migration will result in a file you can send to Lexia to bring into the system.

2. Set Up Teacher & Staff Accounts
Create Teachers and Staff (import template)
You can import teacher and staff accounts. Open the file with Excel for easy editing. Please do not change or add to column headings and create a separate file for each school.
