Reading an Area of Difficulty Report
As a teacher or administrator in Waterford Reading Academy, you can run the Area of Difficulty report to view a detailed breakdown of students who are struggling with specific instructional strands. The data on this report is refreshed hourly.
You can generate this report at both the Classes and Students view. The report will provide a breakdown list of students that scored below mastery for a given objective within the past 45 days. You can customize the date range through the Dates filter, but any date ranges that extend beyond the 45 day window will not be shown on the report.
The date range for which the data on the report is shown can also be found on the top left of the report in the header.
When you generate this report at the class level, it will list the students in the class that experienced difficulty with the skills listed on the report. From the class report, you can click on an underlined student name to automatically open that student’s individual Area of Difficulty report, where you can view all of the skills in which that student scored below mastery.
