Enabling My Literacy activities
My Literacy works in conjunction with Essential Assessment's Online Assessments. My Literacy is dependent on a student's pre-assessment results and is compiled of 20 questions. Once a pre-assessment has been completed, Essential Assessment automatically creates a differentiated and personalised online curriculum for each student based on the content descriptors misunderstood throughout an assessment.
My Literacy is a formative assessment that you can use within the teaching phase to measure if students have caught what you taught. To help reduce cognitive load for students who have been allocated a large number of formative assessments, it is recommended that you only enable one activity at a time to align with the delivery of your teaching.

Enabling My Literacy
Click into the class you would like to set My Literacy activities for. Click My Literacy and switch the My Literacy toggle to IS ON.
Ensure that the assessment has also been switched on under Manage Class Assessments for students to access the My Literacy activities.
Enabling My Literacy without completing the pre-assessment
My Literacy activities can be set prior to students completing the pre-assessment. Click Manage Class Assessments and then click the coloured circle with the + icon.
Click the + icon at the top to enable the activity for all students.
Click the + icon next to a student to enable the activity for the individual student.
Ensure that the assessment has also been switched on under Manage Class Assessments for students to access the My Numeracy activities.
If you don't want your students to see the pre-assessment until they have completed their activities, you can turn the assessment off by switching the toggle to IS OFF under Assessment Options. Please note that doing this will turn off any assessment that has been enabled in the class.
Other options
Real-Time Feedback
Enable Real-Time Feedback to give each student feedback as they progress through their activities.
We would recommend that you turn Real-Time Feedback on for your students' first attempts. This will help your students understand how they are progressing through their activities. If you would like to unlock their first attempt so they can change their answers, you will need to turn Real-Time Feedback off, as leaving this on will not allow them to change their answers.
Continuum Order
Enable Continuum Order to ensure your student completes their My Literacy activities in ascending order.
