I see the red flag on the computer screen. What do I do to administer pass timing?

To administer pass timing, perform the following steps:

  1. If necessary, stop the student's current practice timing by clicking on the clock above the story.
  2. Select Go to Pass Section from the Pass menu.
  3. Enter your teacher password and click Enter.
  4. Click the Start button when the student begins reading the story.
  5. Listen to the student read for one minute, and count any errors to yourself.
  6. When the timer sounds, click on the last word the student read. If a student finishes reading before the timer sounds, click the Stop button.
  7. Enter the number of errors and an expression rating, and then click the Next button.
  8. Check yes or no to indicate whether the student answered the open-ended question(s) correctly, and then click the Next button.
  9. Verify the score information for the story, and then click the Next button. If you want to change the score information you entered in steps 7 or 8, you can select the Change Scores button.

    Result: If the student passes, the pass graph displays. If the student does not pass, a message displays explaining why the student did not pass.

    Note: To pass, the student must reach his/her goal rate, make three or fewer errors, read with good expression (a rating of at least 2 out of a possible 4), and answer the comprehension questions correctly.
