  • Class assignments are set to the default recommendation of five reading lessons and one weekly vocabulary lesson.
  • ReReads are set to a maximum of five and can be adjusted if required.

LOGIN GUIDE

INSIGHT ASSESSMENT

Each student will begin with an initial InSight Assessment, which provides a baseline and assigns the student to the most appropriate starting point for their reading lessons.

The InSight Assessment typically takes 30-45 minutes and is best taken in a quiet environment.

If help is required setting up Reading Plus in the classroom or IT suite, see our helpful guide to facilitating this.

HOW TO GUIDE

STUDENT 'ON HOLD'

Reading Plus automatically places students ‘On Hold’ during the InSight Assessment if they appear to answer questions inaccurately because they are disengaged or off-task.

A student is put on temporary hold immediately or after two warning messages. The teacher will receive an alert to assist the student with their assessment.

Enabling this function allows for more accurate placement on the programme.

HOW TO GUIDE

STUDENT RESULTS

The results show how students performed in the summative assessment for reading fluency (wpm), comprehension and vocabulary.

The Class Benchmark guide provides further information to analyse the InSight Assessment results and a student’s achievements.
