Everything you can do in A.R.I.S.E. Reader, step by step

1Sign in and find your tools

All of your class tools live in one place: the A.R.I.S.E. Reader page.

1. Go to www.arisereader.com and sign in with your teacher username and password. New teachers sign up at Teacher signup; the administrator approves new teacher accounts before the tools open.
2. You land in WorkHub. Open A.R.I.S.E. Reader, or go straight to www.arisereader.com/reader (bookmark it).
3. Across the top you'll see the tabs: Overview, Live quiz, Scenes, Students, Advisory & Lit, Approvals, Parents, Quizzes & grading, Game time and Prizes. On a phone, swipe the tab row sideways to see them all.

2Your Overview page

The first tab shows what needs your attention today.

3Approve students who join your class

When students make their own accounts, they choose their school, grade and you as their teacher. They can't start until you approve them.

1. Ask students to go to www.arisereader.com and sign up. On the sign-up form they pick their School, then their Grade, then choose your name under Teacher.
2. Open the Approvals tab. A red number on Joining shows how many students are waiting.
3. Check each name and username, then press Approve. The student moves into your class and can sign in and take quizzes right away.

4Add students yourself (whole roster at once)

Skip the sign-up step entirely by adding your roster. Students you add don't need approving.

1. Open Students and press Add students.
2. Download the template, or paste rows straight from a spreadsheet. Each row needs First name, Last name and Student number.
3. Upload or paste, check the preview, and add them.
4. Tell students: the username and starting password are both their student number. The first time they sign in they're asked to pick their own password.

5Approve a new book (AI quiz)

If a student's book isn't in the Library, they can make a quiz for it. That quiz stays hidden until a teacher approves it, so you control what's added.

What the student does

1. In the Library, the student searches for the book. If it's not there, they press Create a Quiz (or Create AI Quiz), and type the Book Title and Author.
2. A.R.I.S.E. writes the quiz and sends it to you for review. Teachers get a notification.

What you do

1. Open Approvals and choose AI quizzes. Each row shows the book, the author and the student who made it.
2. Press Approve to add the book and its quiz to the Library for everyone, or Send back if the title or author is wrong.
3. After approval, the book shows up in the Library on its points shelf. Students can find it fastest by typing the title in the Library search.

6Book requests

Students can also send a note asking for a book to be added. These are requests, not quizzes.

1. Open Approvals and choose Book requests. You'll see the book title, who asked, the date and their message.
2. To get the book added, have the student make the quiz with Create a Quiz (section 5) and approve it, or pass the request to the administrator.
3. Press Dismiss once it's handled, to clear it from your list.

7Grade change requests

A student's grade level decides which books they see. When a student asks to change their grade, you approve or deny it.

1. Open Approvals and choose Grade changes. Each row reads like "Grade 7 → grade 8".
2. Press Approve if it's correct; their Library updates to the new grade's books. Press Deny if not.

8Grade reading responses (extra points)

After each book quiz, students can write about the book for up to 10 extra points. You read and score those.

1. Open Quizzes & grading. The red number on To grade is how many responses are waiting.
2. Read the student's written answers.
3. Choose Extra points from 0 to 10 (or No extra points), add an optional Note to the student, and press Save grade. The points go onto the student's total.
4. To fix one you already graded, switch the list to Graded, open it, press Change grade, then Save new grade.

9Proctor code and camera quizzes

Quizzes are taken either with you watching (proctored) or alone with the camera on.

Proctored quizzes

1. Your Proctor code is on the Overview page and under Proctor & growth. Press Copy or read it out.
2. Students type the code to start a proctored quiz. Share it only while you're watching them test.

Camera quizzes

1. When a student takes a quiz alone, the camera takes pictures, and A.R.I.S.E. flags anything unusual (for example, answering much too fast).
2. Open Camera quizzes to review flagged quizzes: the Pictures, What happened, Answer pace and Earlier tries that weren't turned in.
3. If the quiz wasn't fair, remove the points (with an optional reason for your records). If it was fine, give the points back. Only teachers and the site admin can change points.

10Manage your students

Your class list shows each student's points and number of quizzes. Use the search box to find someone by name or username.

11Connect parents and guardians

Every student has a private parent code. When a family signs up with it, they can follow their child's reading and set prizes at home.

1. Open Parents. Every student is listed with their code and whether a parent is linked or Not linked.
2. Pick how to reach families:
   • Print letters for my class prints a letter for every student, with their code, to send home.
