Review Your Child's Overall Progress: The Dashboard Page
When you or your child signs in to Reading Plus, the dashboard opens to the Dashboard, page. The three graphs on the Dashboard page show:
- Your child’s current guided and independent reading rates (G and I-Rates)
- A breakdown of how many words the student has read based on story score.
- An overview of the subjects they are reading about and how much they are enjoying them.
| Remember to click the ? icon if you want to learn more about a specific graph. |
Click the More Info button to see:
- A comparison of the student's guided and independent reading rates (G and I-Rates).
- Student progress broken down by story.
- The content focus and genre of each story.
Review Your Child's Weekly Progress: The Lessons Page
Click the Lessons button to see if your child has or has not completed their assigned lessons for the week.
Reading Plus lessons are grouped into three categories: Reading, Vocabulary, and Visual Skills. Each lesson is represented by a checkbox. You can also see total lessons completed and their awards and achievements.
| Reading lessons provide the most amount of progress data. We recommend students complete weekly Reading assignments first. |
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.
