What do Reading Stats and the Activity Feed show?
Reference · Updated
Reading Stats gives the class's totals over time, the genres it reads, and each student's totals since the class started. The Activity Feed lists the class's reading day by day. Open both from your class Home.
Reading Stats
Open it from the Reading stats card under Understand readers on Home. Once your class has reading this week or last, the words, pages and books at the top of Home open it too.
Class Reading Stats, at the top, covers the whole class:
| Part | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Dates | Starts on your class's start date and runs to its end date (or today). Pick any range from the start date on. |
| Pages read, Books read, Quizzes passed, Word Vault words | The class's totals for those dates |
| The chart | One of those four over the dates. Choose Daily, Weekly or Monthly, and the measure (Pages Read, Books Read, Quizzes Passed or Word Vault Words). Show aggregate draws a running total; untick it to see each day, week or month on its own. |
Genres, next, shows what kinds of books the class finished since your class's start date, on two radar charts of seven genres each. The further a point reaches toward a genre, the more of it the class read; the number under each genre is how many books. A book can count in more than one genre (a funny adventure is Adventure and Comedy), so the numbers add up to more than the books finished. Books still waiting for your certification, and books with no genre yet, aren't on the charts.
Ask Marian "What genres are my students reading?" to see the same charts for any week or month.
Below it, Reading Stats has a row for each student and a Total row for the class:
| Column | What it counts |
|---|---|
| Pages Read (since your class's start date) | All pages recorded, including books not finished yet |
| Pages Read (last 28 days) | The same, for the last 28 days |
| Books Read (since the start date) | Finished books, plus books logged in reading sessions. Books still waiting for a quiz or your certification don't count yet. |
| Books Read (last 28 days) | The same, for the last 28 days |
| Avg. Pages (per book) | Pages Read ÷ Books Read, since the start date |
| Full Report | Opens the student's reading report |
The start date is the one your class Settings show under About this class ("running from …").
Activity Feed
Open it from the Activity feed link below the cards under Understand readers on Home.
| Control | What it does |
|---|---|
| Dates | Opens on the last 7 days. Pick any range. |
| Previous / Next arrows | Move the whole range back or forward by its own length (a week at a time, by default) |
| All reading / Finished books | Finished books hides everything but finished books |
The feed is grouped by day, newest first. Each day's heading says how many students read, the pages, and how many books were finished. Each entry shows the student, the book, its status, where they got to (p. 45 of 200), and the pages and minutes that entry added.
| Status | Means |
|---|---|
| Finished | Finished the book |
| Reading | Recorded pages read |
| Started | Started the book |
| Stopped | Stopped without finishing (DNF in the reading log) |
| Logged | A reading session logged without a book |
Click a student's name to open their panel, or a title to see the book. A student who has left the class shows as Former student.
The feed is read-only. To change an entry, open that student's reading log.
