A few handy tips

  • Class work and family-shared home practice have different visibility rules.
  • Do not distribute student recordings or screenshots outside authorised school processes.
  • AI-generated measures may be inaccurate; they are not a stand-alone assessment.

Good to know

Common questions

Can teachers see all home reading?

No. Home reading that families have not chosen to share is not included in the shared feed.

Can I focus on one child?

Yes. Student cards provide a Practice action to narrow the view.
