Add Students and Roster Groups in ReadingFluency.app

Learn how to add students, import a roster, review before import, create roster groups, archive or delete in bulk, set WCPM and accuracy goals, and view individual student progress.

Students are the records that connect reading assessments to progress history. Add students before your first classroom round so each result can be assigned immediately.

Add Students and Organize Them with Roster Groups

Add or import students

Adding one student and importing a class share one dialog.

  1. Go to Students from the sidebar.
  2. Click Add Student.
  3. Stay on Add one, enter the student's name, and optionally add roster number, student ID, and tags.
  4. Click Add Student.

To bring in a whole roster:

  1. Click the arrow next to Add Student and choose Import students, or open Add Student and switch to Import many.
  2. Drop a CSV, TSV, or Excel file, or paste a roster from your clipboard.
  3. Review the rows. Students already on the roster start unchecked and are marked Already on roster.
  4. Edit names, roster numbers, IDs, or tags if needed, then click Import.

Expected columns: Name, Roster #, Student ID, and Tags. Name is required. Manage Students is for exporting the current roster, not for importing.

Archive, restore, delete, and assign groups in bulk

Select student cards to open a bulk action bar at the bottom of the page.

  1. Check two or more students.
  2. Use Add to Groups, Archive, or Delete on the bar.
  3. Archived students leave the active roster, the dashboard, and the host-session picker, but their assessment history stays. Open the Archived tab at the end of the group strip to restore them.

The same Archive, Restore, and Delete actions are on each student card menu and on the student detail page.

Use roster groups

Roster groups let you group students for intervention, progress monitoring, classroom sections, service groups, or reporting. A student can belong to multiple groups.

  1. Go to Students.
  2. Click New Group.
  3. Name the group, such as "Tier 3 Intensive".
  4. Select the group chip to filter the roster.
  5. Open a student card menu and choose Add to Groups to manage membership, or select several students and use Add to Groups on the bulk bar.

Set goals for a roster group

  1. Select a roster group.
  2. Click the Edit group button beside the group title.
  3. Open the Goals tab.
  4. Enter an optional WCPM goal and accuracy goal.
  5. Click Save.

These goals appear in Reports when that single roster group is selected.

View an individual student's progress

  1. Open Students or the Dashboard roster.
  2. Click a student card.
  3. Review assessment history, trend charts, notes, and linked reports.
  4. Use export options when you need a PDF, image, or CSV for meetings or records.
