How long do the article-a-day's take each day?10-15 minutes each day
3
Is there a way I can use the "student view" to model for my students how to complete assignments?
Absolutely! You can create a test student and log in that way. Or you can show the student view for an assignment
4
Re article a day : when student read the article a day assigned, it automatically unlocks another article and so on. I found my student are confused because they think they have to do all of them.
Ah yes, this is how it works, but you can just tell your students they need to do only one a day.
5
"Redo" for the entire question set, and "revise" for just the questions missed?
Correct!
6
I tried to turn on the ELL feature but it is not allowing me to do so.
Did you activate it in Class Admin first? Here are the step-by-step instructions: https://readworks.force.com/s/article/how-do-i-turn-on-ell--extra-support-features-for-my-student

I can't wait to start Article-a-day with my middle school SIFE! Thank you.
Fantastic! Glad to hear!

How is Read Works implemented with Early Literacy?For our early readers, we provide texts to support their listening comprehension while building their background knowledge and vocab.

Glad it worked!

my students love readworks :) I would like to know how do I extract or print individual reports ?Great question! See how here: https://readworks.force.com/s/article/how-do-i-print-my-students-progress-report

Is it possible to add more graphics for English Learners?
Great suggestion -- we use openly available images so we're a little limited by those libraries

Thank you for hosting this webinar. I'm a parent and my daughters teacher recommended I check out readworks to help her with her reading comprehension. Her teacher is not using readworks, she just recommended we use it as an at home tool. Can you please direct me on how to best use readworks for a 4th grader looking for a little extra help?
Here is our page for families, which have a bunch of suggestions and resources, including a 40-min independent plan that might be helpful! https://about.readworks.org/parents_remote.html
14
I teach adult education ESL students. Which level do you recommend?
My students are beginning level or CASAS 195-205		I'm not familiar with those levels, but if they are beginning readers, probably K-2 would be a good start to see what works best for your students
15
Why am I not seeing the library option in my class admin tab?
In Class Admin, there is a student library tab. You just need to enable it, and your students will see it on their end.
16
What exactly is the Book of Knowledge?It is like a journal where students record their takeaways from each article in an Article-A-Day set
17
So, my three 7th graders with lexiles of 340, 700 and 900 can all do Black History Month through "Article a Day"?
It is unlikely that there is a set that includes articles for all 3 of those ranges. However, we do have some sets with Boost and Challenge articles that are meant to help differentiate with varying students.

Not a problem! Glad it was helpful to know!

If a student cannot finish an article in ten minutes, should they be moved to a lower reading level?
Not necessarily! Some students just take more time to read an article in an Article-A-Day set

Not sure what you're seeing, Jane. Could you follow-up?
