| What happens if students quit prior to completing a word/level/category? How do students quit in the middle of a word? The program will remember students’ progress up through the last word that they completed. If they quit in the middle of a word, they will begin that word anew the next time they enter the category. Students can select "quit" at any time from within the Student Module. |
| Is it possible for a student to do a word/level/category more than once? Students can go through a word as many times as they like, however, they will only receive a score the first time they do the word. Students may also use the Review Words Feature to review past work at anytime.
|
| Can I get a word list/preview the content my students are studying? Yes. Go to the "lessons" tab and click "filter". You can view the content of any or all word lists from here.
|
| How long does the Diagnostic Exam take? It is suggested that you allow at least 20 minutes for the Diagnostic Exam.
|
| What are the Pre and Post Tests? The Pre and Post tests work in conjunction as indicators of student progress. Should a teacher wish to utilize these tests, she should require that students take the Pre test for a word list before starting the words in that list. The Pre test is taken from clues in its word list. Once the word list is completed, the option for a Post test appears. This test is similar to the Pre test, except that different clues are used from the same word list. By comparing the results of the Pre and Post test in the teacher module, an instant measure can be made of how well the student has progressed through the word list.
|
| How can I see which words my students have completed? Go to SCORES, click on the correct class, and then click on a Student's name. In the next screen, click on "Words Completed.". You can click on each word listed to view its entire content.
|
| Why are there no quiz scores showing? Quiz questions require written responses. Therefore, the scores are not recorded automatically. You can record quiz scores in your own grade book.
