Notes about Levels in One Minute Reader Live:
- When a student completes all work in their selected levels, any disabled levels are enabled. Our goal is to keep students reading and not prevent any progress.
- You cannot disable levels for groups of students at a time. You must do it for one student at a time.
- A level cannot be turned off if it is the only incomplete level available to a student.
