Create a Reading Progress Assignment

1. Navigate to the desired class, then select Assignments.
2. Select Create>Assignment.
3. Enter a title for this assignment – this is required.
4. Select Attach. Then select Reading Progress from the dropdown menu.
   • To select a passage for your students:
   1. Choose Upload Word or PDF to use your own files, including files from Class Notebook, your Teams files, or OneDrive.
   2. Select Browse sample library to use passages provided by ReadWorks.
5. (Optional) Complete the additional fields to create more data sorting opportunities when reviewing student work.
   1. Reading level: Identify reading levels in the way that works best for your class. Any reading level you enter will be searchable in Insights.
   2. Genre: Select Fiction or Non-fiction
   3. Number of Attempts: Choose Unlimited to allow students plenty of opportunities to practice, or select any number to limit attempts.
   4. Pronunciation sensitivity: Specify how strict you'd like Auto-detect to be when listening and estimating errors. Choose Less sensitive to leave more flexibility for pronunciation, and More sensitive to demand more exact reading performance. This setting is adjustable when reviewing student work.
      • Note: Pronunciation detection for each language is generalized based on common pronunciation and may not recognize accents and dialects well. This is just a starting point, and we are working to ensure those with accents and dialects are included. Use your discretion to mark errors manually when the speech detection does not meet the needs of your student.
   5. Require video: Select No to give students the choice to submit audio only.
   6. Reading Coach defaults to On when you create a Reading Progress assignment. Toggle Reading Coach to Off from here if desired.
   7. Edit your passage: If you've uploaded a Word or PDF document of your own, you can edit the passage right in Reading Progress. Select Edit, then make any changes you'd like in the document.
   8. Select Edit language to adjust the language Auto-detect will listen for
   9. Select the checkmark when you're done editing.

Note: ReadWorks passages are not editable. Passage details like title, reading level and genre will populate automatically.

j. Select which student's you'd like to have complete this assignment, then select Assign.

Your students will be notified of their new assignment, and it will appear in your assignments list.​​​​​​
