How do I record or fix reading for a student?

Step by step · Updated

Record reading with + Log reading at the top of your class Home. Fix or remove an entry from the student's Reading Log.

Record reading

  1. On your class Home, click + Log reading at the top right.
  2. On the Record reading tab, search for the book and tick each student who finished it, or tick All (it shows how many students you have) for the whole class.
  3. Click Record reading for (it shows how many students you ticked). Each student gets the book as finished today, and their points update right away (see How points work).

Leave Also add the book quiz to students' dashboards ticked to put the book's quiz on their dashboards too. A student who already passed that quiz still gets the reading, and the message after you click names them.

If something goes wrong part way through, the students already done are unticked, so clicking again records only the rest.

For one student, click their tile or name to open their panel, then Log reading: they're already ticked. Under Reading now in the panel, you can also type the page they're on next to Now on p. and press Enter, or click Finished. To do that for the whole class, see the daily check-in.

Fix or delete an entry

  1. On Home, under Validate reading, click Reading logs, then pick the student. Use Switch reader, or Previous and Next, to move between students.
  2. Click … in the Actions column of the entry, then Edit reading.
  3. Change Page Reached or Minutes Read, or click Delete entry.

Points follow the entry: editing or deleting it adjusts the student's total.

Certify a finished book without a quiz

In the same … menu on a finished book:

  • Admin certify lets you add a note.
  • Admin certify (fast) certifies in one click.
  • Remove admin certification undoes it. A book whose quiz the student passed keeps the credit the quiz gave it.

Certifying counts the book as proven read, which releases points for students set to Quiz or admin certified (Require a quiz before points).

Ask Marian: "Ava and Leo finished Holes" records it for them, and "We're on page 40 of Holes" logs a read-aloud for the class. She shows you a card first and saves it when you click Approve.
