What progress can parents see?


Parents do not see the detailed individual reports that a teacher can see. However, they can see the ‘My Progress’ tab that is available to the pupil. This will show them completed units for Supershark and any work completed in the other courses under ‘Free Play’.

It is important to remember that the ‘My Progress’ and individual reports for the pupils are based on the three spell check games Spell check, Maze spell and Moving spell check. If a pupil does not actively play one of these games in ‘Free Play’ there will be no records. Supershark, the automated course, and set work enforce the spell check games periodically. 


Pupils, and therefore parents, can see progress for set work under the ‘My set work’ tab. It does not measure games played as pupils will vary in how many games will be needed before they reach the ‘mastered’ score. It is measured against completed lists so for example if a piece of work has 4 lists and the pupil has mastered one list, the progress bar will show completed for a quarter of it, then halfway for two lists. NB: if only one list is given as set work, the progress bar will show a portion as green to show started but will then not move until the list is mastered; at that point the set work will become “completed”.

Teachers have a more detailed view of the set work and how the students have performed for each list within the set work, along with any error words.   


Pupils also receive a weekly pop-up if they completed any work in the previous week up to midnight on Sunday (UK Time). This gives an overview of their Supershark course along with the total time spent playing games and all the words spelt accurately during that week – this is for all modes of work.

It is also possible for a teacher to export records as pdf. These could be sent home to parents or added to workbooks for parents to see at parents’ evenings/meetings.
