Structure of the Program
ReadingDoctor® Online is divided into 3 parts, all of which communicate with each other so that you have complete control over what your students do in the program as well as access to all of the detailed progress data it collects about your students and classes:
Student Login
The Student Login is designed for students to be able to use ReadingDoctor® Online independently at school or at home. It allows students to work through their ReadingDoctor® Synthetic Phonics Sequence and complete homework set by the educator. The Student Login is accessible through any modern browser (preferably Google Chrome) on PC/Mac/Chromebook/Android and through the ReadingDoctor® Online iPad app.
Educator Login
The Educator Login is designed for you to work face-to-face with students and also allows you to set homework activities for students to complete via their Student Login. Educators can choose specific skills to work on or work with the student through their ReadingDoctor® Synthetic Phonics Sequence. The Educator Login is accessible through any modern browser (preferably Google Chrome) on PC/Mac/Chromebook/Android and through the ReadingDoctor® Online iPad app.
Dashboard
The Dashboard allows you to monitor student progress, view and print reports, change difficulty level for students and administrate your class. Your school’s Reading Doctor administrator can also use the dashboard to manage your school's classes and teachers. The Dashboard is accessible through any modern browser (preferably Google Chrome) on PC, Mac or Chromebook.
The program is designed to be simple for schools to administrate regardless of the number of students and teachers in your school. Each teacher has access to the students in their own class (or classes). A school administrator can manage your classes and teachers. In this way, schools have complete control of ReadingDoctor® Online, although we’re always there to provide assistance if it is needed!
