| Reading lessons provide the most amount of progress data. We recommend students complete weekly Reading assignments first. |
How often do the assignment boxes in the student dashboard update?
Students' assignments are refreshed every Sunday. All assignments the student completed and checked off the week before will reset and the student will see empty, new assignment boxes for the upcoming week.
| If a student started but did not complete an assignment in a category during the previous week, the student will still be able to finish that lesson after assignments reset. When they select the cateory, they will open the lesson they were last working on and can pick up where they left off. |
How Often Should You Check The Dashboard?
We recommend you check student progress twice a week, and talk with your child about what they are reading and learning.
Additional recommendations:
- Remind students about ReReads: Students can look back at what they read when answering questions about a passage.
- Celebrate success! For example, you could congratulate your child:
- When they complete their weekly assignments.
- When you see lessons completed with higher comprehension.
- When they move up a reading level.
