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!

Note: Teacher accounts do not have a placement assessment option.

Exciting Update:

Based on feedback from our valued users, we’ve made a change! You can now retake the placement assessment if needed. We listened to your input and made this adjustment to better meet your child’s learning needs. 🎉

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?

Yes! You can now retake the placement assessment at any point in the program. Simply head to the grown-up section, tap ‘Take Test,’ and your child can try again to ensure they’re working at the right level.

Important Note:

Placement assessments are only available for Parent Subscriptions. Teacher accounts do not include this feature but allow you to manually set lesson progress.
