Is there a placement assessment?

Yes, Reading.com offers a placement assessment to ensure that your child is placed at an appropriate level within the program.

How can I access the placement assessment?

You can access the placement assessment in two places: on the map and in the grown-up section.

If you have not yet completed Lesson 4, you should see a Placement Assessment button at the top of the map. After Lesson 4, the placement assessment becomes unavailable.

Tapping that link will trigger the placement assessment, which will place your child at a lesson that best matches their skill level. The highest placement available is Lesson 24.

The second location to access the placement assessment is in the grown-up section. Tap ‘Take Test’ to begin the assessment.

What if Lesson 24 still feels too easy for my child?

If Lesson 24 feels too easy for your child, you can override the standard "1-lesson-per-day" progression by tapping on the next lesson stone and swiping the "Unlock Now" slider. This allows you to progress through several lessons at a time. The program's books increase in difficulty fairly quickly, so you should be able to easily find an appropriate level for your child.

Can I take the placement assessment later or after completing the initial placement?

No. Once you've completed the initial placement assessment, it's not possible to retake it later in the program. However, if you have specific placement concerns or need further assistance, please feel free to contact our support team for personalized guidance and support.

We want to ensure that your child's learning experience on Reading.com is tailored to their needs and abilities. If you have any questions or require additional assistance regarding placement assessments, please don't hesitate to reach out to our support team. We're here to help make your child's reading journey a success!
