Login links/QR codes, turn off reading friends and quizzes

First, look at the top image below.

1. If you want to share a login link with a student, click Copy Link (red), then send it to the student.
   
   
2. If you want to print QR codes for your class so that students can paste them into a planner, or you can place them on the wall, click the Login QR Codes button (green).
   
   
3. The image at the bottom shows you what the QR codes will look like. You can then print them.In the digital library with fiction and factual books, some titles include a quiz.
   
   
4. If you have access to the library, you can choose to deactivate the quiz for one, some, or all students by unchecking the Activated box (blue). If you don’t have access to the library, just leave the button as it is. Remember, the library is an add-on service. Students are automatically reading friends with classmates who have logged in at least once.
   
   
5. Reading friends can challenge each other to read a book or a fluency book. You can choose to deactivate the reading friends function for one, several, or all students by unchecking the Activated box (yellow).
   
   
6. If you want to apply the setting to the whole class, click the top box instead of unchecking each student one by one (red marking).

Find out what students are reading right now

When you’re done with your administration, simply click the button in the top right corner (red) to return to the Reading Activities page.

 

 

This is also the page where you can see the fluency practice that the students arecurrently reading.

If you have access to the library, it may also be a fiction or non-fiction book. In other words, you’ll see the most recently read book.

See reading recommendations for a student

If you want to see what reading has been recommended for a specific student, click on that student in the student list.

Then select the Recommendations button (red).

You will see a view showing recommendations from Lexplore and recommendations made by you as the teacher.

Students in Years 1–3 automatically receive fluency books recommended after completing an assessment. These are shown under Recommended by Lexplore.

For the rest of the students, it is up to you as the teacher to decide whether and which fluency practice they should receive.

Since motivation is essential for students struggling with reading, we want to keep it optional what should be recommended.

If you have access to the e-library, you will also see books from the e-library on this page.

Edit accessibility in the reading app for your students

As a teacher, you may want to restrict or open up more features in your students' reading app. For example, you might want to choose which recommendations your students see in their reading app, or whether they can read with friends. 

Once your students have access to the Lexplore Reading App, you as a teacher have the opportunity to modify how they can use the app. This is all controlled from the Admin page for your class in the Lexplore portal.

 

Once you have clicked on a class in the Lexplore portal, click on the cogwheel at the top right to access the admin page.

 

 

 

You can change these features in your students' reading app:
