Enrolling Students in READ 180 Next Generation
Students are enrolled in READ 180 Next Generation through SAM. If students have
been enrolled and have profiles in SAM, teachers may enroll students in Scholastic
programs and use the READ 180 Next Generation Program Settings to individualize
the software for students. To add students to SAM and create student profiles, see
Enrolling and Managing Students Using Scholastic Achievement Manager.
Check if students are enrolled in READ 180 Next Generation by checking the Usage
Summary section on the class’s Profile Screen. Locate the number of students who
are enrolled in each Scholastic program at the bottom of the table.
NOTE: If upgrading from READ 180 Enterprise Edition version 2.0 or later to READ
180 Next Generation, enrolling students in READ 180 Next Generation also imports
all student data as well. If upgrading from READ 180 versions 1.9 or 1.10, enrolling
students in READ 180 Next Generation imports the following student data points:
their READ 180 level, their Topics completed, their segments completed, and their
product controls.
Teacher Tip

Leveling Options
By default, students’ READ 180 Next Generation Topic Software levels are assigned
®
automatically based on their Lexile as determined by the Scholastic Reading
Inventory (SRI) College & Career, or manually by the teacher.
From the Settings tab, use the Leveling Options menu to manually set students’ level
in the Topic Software and disable the default settings. Use the pull-down menu to set
students’ starting level. The four levels (three in Stage A) correspond to the degree of
difficulty for each reading passage; students with a higher level receive more
challenging passages and Study Words. (For information about SRI College &
Career, see the SRI College & Career Software Manual.)
There are three leveling options:
•
Enable Automatic Placement: Check to allow READ 180 Next Generation to
automatically determine students’ level based on their SRI College & Career when
they first log in to READ 180 Next Generation. Once students have logged in to
READ 180 Next Generation for the first time, teachers may no longer change this
setting. The default setting is enabled.
•
Promote Student to Next Level Automatically: Check to automatically allow
increases in students’ level once they have shown mastery of their current level.
The default setting is enabled.
•
Set Student’s Next Level: Manually assign or change students’ level by selecting
a number from the pull-down menu. The default setting is blank.
Teacher Tip
To ensure accurate placement in READ 180 Next Generation, enroll students in
SRI College & Career first, administer the test, then enroll students in READ 180
Next Generation.

Running and Using Reports
When students work in SAM-based technology programs, SAM automatically collects
and saves students’ performance data. To access READ 180 Next Generation and
rSkills College & Career data reports in SAM, click the Reports icon on the SAM
Home Screen or the Reports tab at the top of any screen in SAM. Reports provide
data-driven information on student, group, and class progress in a variety of formats,
including charts, graphs, and tables. They help monitor student progress, check
software usage, plan instruction, and diagnose student needs.
Depending on their permission settings in SAM, teachers may have access to
different report options. For example, teachers may only run reports for classes,
groups, and students assigned to them; however, accounts with administrator
permissions may run reports on the school or district level.
The Reports Index
The Reports Index lists the available reports for a SmartBar selection. Access the
Reports Index by clicking the Reports icon on the SAM Home Screen or the Reports
tab at the top of any screen. Select a school, grade, teacher, class, or student to see
the reports for each in the Index.

to let teachers know how individual students,
classes, or groups are doing over time.
