The Student Activity page in the Staff Member Module lets staff members quickly identify students who need a teacher's help. The Waiting column on this page displays icons for students currently waiting for a teacher to continue working on their stories or exercises.
Students who can appear on the Student Activity page:
- Teachers, School Coordinators, and Account Administrators can see students for whom they are the Lead Teacher or students without a Lead Teacher.
- Read Live Assistants can see students on Teams to which they have been added on the Waiting List page.
See the Team feature for more information on giving access to Read Live Assistants.
To review waiting students:
- Teachers, School Coordinators, and Account Administrators can select Student Activity from the navigation menu.
Read Live Assistants can choose the Waiting List link on their home page.
The Student Activity page opens:
Note: In the list, the Waiting column next to students' names displays the icons of any applications in which each student is waiting. If a student is not waiting for a teacher, the column is empty.
To use the Student Activity page to conduct timings for a student:
- From the navigation menu, select Student Activity.
- Find the student for whom you need to conduct a timing.
Note that you can see a student's current step in her or his story and see the Story Details report with information about the student's performance. See Reviewing the Story Details Report for the Student's Current Story below. - In the row with the student's name, click the Login button for the student for whom you need to conduct a timing.
Note that if the student involved is currently logged into Read Live, the Login button is red. If you open a Login As session while a student is logged in, a warning dialog will ask you to confirm that you want to log the student out. It is important to communicate with students in order to prevent confusion during this process. - The application will open a new browser tab in which you are logged in as the selected student.
- After logging in as a student, use screen sharing software to conduct Pass activities over the internet. A student recording, either saved in Read Live or sent to the teacher by some other means, can also be graded as a remote hot timing.
Reviewing the Story Details Report on the Student Activity page:
Before clicking the Login button to open a session, a teacher can quickly review the student's performance on the current story.
- On the Student Activity page, click the > control to the left of a student's name to open the Applications level for the student. Then click the > control to the left of Read Naturally Live to see available reports in that application.

To use the Waiting List to conduct timings for a student:
- Review the Current Step column to see where each student is waiting in his or her current story or exercise.
To appear on the Waiting List, students must be on either the Cold Timing or Pass steps of a story, waiting for a teacher to help them advance. - If necessary, click the Details button for each student to open the Story Details report for that student's current story.
The report displays the student's previous activity in the story. - Review the Recording column to see whether the student has saved recordings for this story.
If the student has saved the necessary recordings, you can use the Login As feature to conduct a hot timing for any student without the student needing to be logged in. - To conduct a timing for the student, click the Login button under the Login As column.
Note that if the student involved is currently logged into Read Live, the Login button is red. If you open a Login As session while a student is logged in, a warning dialog will ask you to confirm that you want to log the student out. It is important to communicate with students in order to prevent confusion during this process.
A new tab opens with the Read Live Student Module. In the new tab, the student is already logged in. - Conduct a live timing with the student over the internet
- or -
Conduct a timing based on saved student recordings. See Student Recordings While Waiting for a Teacher for more information.
Note
- The Refresh List button on the Student Activity or Waiting List pages can prompt you when students have begun waiting for a teacher, when they add a recording, or when another staff member has helped them move on in their current story. When the button glows, clicking it causes the list of students to be updated.
