Instructions for each step will tell you how to mark incorrect answers for each section.
After clicking an incorrect item (the letters "w" and "q" in example below), the item will appear red with a strikethrough. If you mark an error by mistake, clear the mark by clicking the item again before moving on to the next step.
In other steps, you will mark incorrect items by clicking the x next to that item.
Always click 'Save & Next Step' to move on to the next section of an assessment.
Follow the specific assessment instructions for skipping to the next section if a student misses a certain number of words in a row. It is especially important to pause the test and mark all subsequent items in that list as Incorrect before clicking 'Stop Here, Skip Remaining, & Go To Next Step.'
In the example below, the student missed items 6–9. Because the instructions say to stop testing and go to the next step if a student misses 4 words in a row, the test was then paused, and the remaining items were also marked Incorrect.
Writing portions of an assessment will follow a similar format. Have the student display each word after it has been written so it can be marked properly as Correct or Incorrect.
The Sonday System 1 and 2 Placement Tests have an additional step for recording words that are incorrectly read. If a student reads a word incorrectly, click the blank field and type in the incorrect response. In the example below, the student read word 4, crush, incorrectly as cruss, so the blank was filled in accordingly.
Scoring
A student’s score will be automatically calculated as a test is administered, and the results will be displayed at the end of the assessment.
The Pre-Reading Survey and the Sonday System 1 Placement Test provide level recommendations based on the student's results.
