By default, Word List timings are set to a Whole list duration. If you have a student who, after multiple practices and extra support, cannot read a word list's words both down the columns and across the rows, you may want to adjust the student's Word List Goal and/or change the duration story option to 1 minute.
The 1 minute exercise option stops each timing after 60 seconds. A bell sounds, and students are asked to click the last word they read when the timing ended. Whether a student performed a Whole list or 1 minute timing, the reading rate for a timing is based on the number of words read in the elapsed time.
To change the length of Word List timings:
- In the student module, click the Teacher button in the page header.
- In the dialog that opens, enter your User ID and Password and click Log in.
- Select Change Exercise Options.
- Under Word List, select a Whole list or 1 minute duration.
- Click Save or Save & Close.
