Enabling My Literacy activities

Setting My Literacy, activities, real-time feedback, continuum order.

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 Student Access toggle 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 the My Literacy tab and then select View/Edit Activities.

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.

Note: you will need to SET the relevant assessment associated with the My Literacy 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 Student Access toggle 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.
