The Certificate of Achievement shows each student's number of activities completed, books read, vocabulary words learned, high frequency words learned, and letters learned. This certificate is located in the educator portal and is available for Teachers and Administrators to print for individual students or whole groups.
- Activities completed is the raw count of activities the student finished in their automated learning path, independent of which lesson they are in or whether the students demonstrated mastery or not. Playlist activities assigned by an educator are not included in this count.
- A book is counted as "read" when the student completes book-related activities such as Listen and Read, Read on My Own, What's the Story?, or any other activity related to the Read-Along Books, Decodable Books, or Books by Lexile. If a student completes more than 1 activity for the same book, it only counts as 1 book read.
- Vocabulary words and high frequency words are counted as "learned" when a student demonstrates mastery in activities related to the word. In most cases, mastery occurs when a student scores 70% or higher, but this can vary slightly. For example, if a student gets 2 out of 3 answers correct on an activity with only 3 questions, the word is considered mastered even though the score is actually 67% correct.
- A letter is counted as "learned" when the students show mastery on the Letter Shapes & Sounds (Grades PreK–2) or Alphabet Quiz (Grades K–2) activities. Uppercase letters and lowercase letters are scored separately, so it is possible for students to learn up to 52 letters.
Recommendation
Print certificates and present them to students during family conferences, awards ceremonies, or every time report cards are sent home.
To print Achievement Certificates:
- Log in to Imagine Language & Literacy.
- Select a group from the bottom of the Home page.
- In the group-level dashboard, click into the Progress section.
- Click the Achievements tab.
- The Time Period filter defaults to Year to Date. Change the time period if desired; your selection impacts the number of activities that print on the certificates.
Note
If a student has 0 in any of the columns, that category will not appear on the certificate. For example, since these students are in Grade 3, they already know their letters. Therefore, the Letters field does not display on their certificates.
