Viewing the Progress by Lesson report in Imagine Language & Literacy

The Progress by Lesson report shows how your students are performing in each lesson in Imagine Language & Literacy and helps you interpret student performance across all lessons. The report includes data for all school years the students have been using the program, allowing you to track progress over time.

The report shows:

To view the Progress by Lesson report:

1. Log in to Imagine Language & Literacy. 
2. Select a group from the Home page.
3. From the group's dashboard, click in to the Progress section.

   

4. The Progress section defaults to the Progress by Lesson tab, and the class-level Progress by Lesson report opens defaulted to the Literacy curriculum area. You can also select Oral Vocabulary or Grammar.
   
   When the Show Previous Years toggle is off, data will display in the report only for your current school year. 
   

    Tip

   As shown highlighted in yellow below, empty cells to the left of the first fraction per row indicate that the lessons were completed in previous years.
   Empty cells to the right of the last fraction in a row are blank because the student has not yet started those lessons.
   

   Turn the toggle on to include cumulative progress data from prior years. This will populate the cells to the left of the first fraction in each row.
   
   
5. Use the key at the top of the page to see which lesson groups students have completed, skipped, or have in progress. The legend is as follows:
   

   Symbol	Description
   Gray arrow	Indicates that the student has tested out of the lesson group. Students can test out of a lesson by showing proficiency on the Placement Test or another assessment for the skills taught in the lesson group.
   Blue checkmark	Indicates that the student completed the lesson group during the current school year.
   White checkmark	Indicates that the student completed the lesson group in a previous school year. This symbol is only used when the Show Previous Years toggle is set to on.
   Fraction	Indicates the student's current placement in Imagine Language & Literacy for the selected curriculum area. The fraction compares the number of lessons completed and/or in progress to the total number of lessons available within that lesson group. It is not a reflection of accuracy. As an example, the number 5/6 means that the student has either completed the first 4 lessons in the group and is working on the 5th or has completed the first 5 lessons in the group and is about to start the 6th.

    Note

    In rare cases, you may see an additional symbol. A white and blue checkmark indicates that the student completed a portion of the lesson group in a previous school year and finished the lesson group in the current school year. This symbol is only used when the Show Previous Years toggle is set to on.

   Using Harlan as an example, we see that he initially placed into the beginning of the Grade 5 curriculum (as indicated by the gray arrows showing he skipped all previous lesson groups). He completed lesson groups 1 and 2 for Grade 5 this school year, and is currently in or done with the 7th lesson out of 12 lessons in lesson group 3 for Grade 5.
   
   
6. For Kindergarten and Grades 1 and 2, hover over a Book Level to see the topics addressed within the books.
   
   
7. Hover over a Lesson Group to see the curriculum. 
   
   
8. Click on the Lesson Group to go to the page where you can preview its activities.
   
   A. The Lesson Guide opens in a new tab. Expand a section in the group to view a list of all the digital activities and their description.
   
   

    Note

   The number of activities in each lesson varies significantly, so the length of time it takes a student to complete a lesson varies accordingly. Given the same usage time, students with shorter lessons can be expected to complete up to twice as many lessons as their peers with longer lessons. 

   B. Hover over a thumbnail, click Play, and then click the pulsating blue and white Play button to play the activity. In this manner, you can view the exact activities your students receive.
   
   
9. Click on an arrow, checkmark, or fraction to view details about student performance in each lesson group.
   
   Lesson Details open in a pop-up window :
   
   
   The Lesson Details columns are as follows: 
   

   Column	Description
   Curriculum Area	Literacy, Oral Vocabulary, or Grammar (as selected in the Curriculum Area drop-down menu)
   In Remediation	A rewind symbol appears in this column if additional lessons are being inserted into the student's learning path because the student did not master the lesson content lesson the first time. Lessons can have up to 3 successive rounds of remediation where students revisit the same topic at delayed intervals. The remediation symbol persists even after the student completes all of the remediation activities.
   Lesson	The name of the lesson.
   Tested Out	A gray arrow displays in this column when a student has skipped this lesson. These lessons are also marked as completed in the Completed column.  Note When students test out of lessons, no information displays for these lessons in the Skills Inventory report.
   Passed	A green checkmark displays in this column when students have passed the lesson. "Passed" is defined as: 1. The student passed the base lesson on the first try.  --or-- 2. The student completed the base lesson AND the student completed and passed the remediation activities they were assigned for that lesson.  The passing rate for most activities in Imagine Language & Literacy is 70%, but this can vary.  Note A student may complete the remediation without passing, which would mark the lesson as Completed, but not Passed.  Recommendation Check the Action Areas Tool for more ideas on how to assist students with unfinished learning.
   Completed	A blue checkmark in this column indicates that the student either tested out of the base lesson or finished the base lesson. If the lesson doesn't have a blue checkmark, the base lesson is still in progress. It is possible for students to be actively working on more than one lesson at a time.  Note This column indicates completion of the base lesson only. Students who are in progress with remediation but who have completed the base lesson will still have a blue checkmark in the Completed column (as will students who have completed both the base lesson and their remediation activities).
   Time Spent	The total time in minutes and seconds that the student spent on the lesson. Time in a lesson can span more than one day or one week and can be interrupted by activities such as Benchmark assessments, Playlist activities, or lessons in another Curriculum Area. Therefore, time spent on a lesson may not directly correlate with daily or weekly usage minutes.
   Last Attempted	The most recent date that the student worked on the lesson.

10. If desired, export the report to a CSV file and/or print it. The download and printer icons are in the top right. The files will contain the data you see on your screen, so be sure to set your Curriculum Area and the Show Previous Years toggle accordingly.
    
    In the downloaded CSV file, the following abbreviations are used:
    
    • C = Completed
    • LG = Lesson Group
    • T= Tested Out

     Tip

    After viewing the class-level report Literacy, change the Curriculum Area drop-down menu and look at the report for Oral Vocabulary and then Grammar. You must print and export each Curriculum Area separately.

Click into the Lesson Groups, arrows, checkmarks, and fractions as you would for the class-level report. You'll also have the Show Previous Years toggle and a print button in the top right. The student-level report prints all 3 curriculum areas on the same page.
