Viewing the Concept Assessment Report:
Select ‘Concept Assessment' from the dropdown menu, select the desired level, and click 'Update.’
This report displays how students master new skills: blue highlights indicate mastery, orange highlights below mastery scores, and white indicates no assessment completion.
For deeper insights, click the black triangle for specifics on student scores, including the number of assessments taken before mastery was achieved.
Checking Pre- and Post-Test Reports:
Select 'Pre- and Post-Test Report' to compare individual student scores from the start to the end of a level.
Scores of 80% or higher in parts of the post-test (decodable words, sentences, correct words per minute, comprehension questions) suggest mastery of the level's concepts.
Reviewing the Mid-Level Test Report:
The 'Mid-Level Test Report' shows student scores in percentages for each concept up to the middle of that level. A score of 80% or higher indicates mastery.
Like other reports, detailed information is accessible via hyperlinks.
