Open the Assignment Window

There are two ways to open the assignment window:
  • From a story: open any story in the library and click Assign in the upper-right corner.
  • From your dashboard: click + New Assignment on the teacher dashboard.

​
Build the Assignment

1

Select a skill

Defaults to the skill of the story you opened. Change it if you like. The skill controls what students can generate and what appears in their Find a Story bin.
2

Choose stories

Pick one or more decodables from the Grab-and-Go library aligned to that skill.
3

Choose settings

Pick a reading mode and release timing (see below).
4

Select students

Whole class, a small group, or individual students.

​
Reading Modes

Students read independently and silently, with the option to tap any word to hear it read aloud.
Switch to Read Aloud mode if you want WPM and accuracy data for a student.

​
Release Timing

  • Assign now — goes to the front of the student’s queue immediately.
  • Schedule for later — not available to students until the release date. Must be scheduled for tomorrow or later.
See Managing Assignments for how new assignments interact with a student’s queue.
Build a “Monday assignment” routine: assign the week’s decodables every Monday morning so students get familiar with the rhythm.
