Here is how a Lexercise Clinician can make a list of words or word cards for face-to-face practice using a child's individualized Word Bank.

After adjusting the child's Lexercise Practice Plan on the Add/Edit Games page do this:

1. Click "Preview" (on the left side of the Add/ Edit Games page).
2. Scroll down to the bottom of the Preview Page. There you will see the Word Bank.
3. Highlight the words in the Word Bank.
4. Go to "Edit" on your browser's tool bar and select "copy" (or use the keyboard shortcut to "copy").
5.  Open the document where you want to list the words (e.g., a Word doc).
6. Go to "Edit" on your browser's tool bar and select "paste" (or use the keyboard shortcut to "paste").
7. Voila!  The words in the Word Bank will be listed.
8.  If you want, you can highlight the words and then change their font size. You can also insert them in a table so that they can be cut out like "cards." (In Microsoft Word you do that by highlighting the words then going to "Table" and then "Insert".  Insert a table with the number of rows and columns you want.  A table that has 4 columns and either 10 or 20 rows works well for "word cards.")

You can also make a list of the client's error words from his/her Lexercise games.  To do this, go to the  "Errors" tab on the child's Reports page. Decide for what game(s) you'd like to list error words.  Then highlight, copy and paste those error words from the error table.  Optionally, if you just want the child's error words from Isolator and Descriptor, you can copy these from the automatic email that the system sends you each time the child finishes playing the games

If you decide to go live with this to other clinicians, you might consider doing it in a recorded screencapture on Camtasia.
