Student progress reports for Supershark (& Free Play)
Placement and progress in Supershark
All students are given the baseline test (Shark Challenge) by default when they first log into the program, to find the appropriate Unit of work (out of 44 Units) to start at. They are then placed in Supershark - the Wordshark course with built in automatic progression which takes them through the course.
View Wordshark Course Summary (pdf) (includes complete list of Unit titles, word list titles and summary content).
The group summary report (how to access this is described in the next section) – will show:
- where students have been placed
- any resets of placement level you may have made (at any time)
- their progress in Supershark
- time spent
The Units of work (1-44) are shown on a progress bar with mastered units shown in green, incomplete ones in light blue, not mastered in yellow.
