Spelling Fix - Backspace EXIT
In the settings for spelling it would be nice if pushing the backspace button didn't make you loose all of your work. This goes for the students taking the practice tests and the teachers creating the list. I have recreated the same list 3 times because of not realizing the curser wasn't in the word box and hitting "backspace" by accident while on the final step and it taking me back to the main assignments page and not saving the list.

Scrolling concerns
When reviewing student work, I wish the box that I mark "reviewed" in, and give the student a grade, would scroll down the page as I scroll down to check in each student's assignment. Right now I have to click on the students name and then scroll back to the top to mark the student's grade/reviewed. Then I have to scroll back down to click on the next students name and repeat. I also wish there wasn't two tabs when reviewing student work. I like to see their scores (along with the option of how they answered the problems -…

ELA practice - Capital Letters
It may be helpful if you could make the ELA practice more friendly for kindergarteners. One problem tells students to type capital letters when they have not been taught how to type yet. Is there a way where you can have capital letters and lower case letters, and ask students to pick which one has capital letters. This would be helpful.
1 voteThanks for the suggestion. We have revamped Practice 2.0 and this was taken into consideration.

Hiding Common Core Grade Level for Students
I would like an option to hide the standard my students are working on. I have differentiated my groups according to the skills each student needs to work on but I don't want them to know that they are working below grade level.
1 voteHi All,
In 2.0, students do not see the grade level of the content. Great suggestion! Keep em coming!

eBoosk Reading assignments
It would be great if the book would show up in the reading assignment instead of the student having to look for the book in the ebook section.

Proficiency Report
Currently parents can see the proficiency by concept report with the lowest % listed first. If you number these on the left hand side it would be easier for parents/teachers to assign the weakest concepts more easily.
For example if I want to make 2 assignments based on the weakest concepts I can click on 1-10 then 11-20 to make 2 assignments fast and easy without having to count where I left off.5 votesHello,
Thanks for the suggestion! We rolled out 2.0 and this process will be much smoother thanks to parents and partners like you!
Cheers!

easier referrals
It's too difficult to get teacher referral credits because of all the steps needed to input the name in your account settings. If you navigate through someone's personal link, the credit should register automatically.

Disappointed
Hello, my students were so disappointed at the changes to your website :( They loved the fireworks and emotion faces that you used to let them choose. They also said it looks so serious and not so much fun anymore. Just thought you'd like the feedback. Any chance we can get those features back?
Thanks!3 votesGood news! This feature has been added! Students can now set the emotion and the fireworks should also show at the end of practices and assignments.

sync parent dashboards
When I create rewards for our student, my husband cannot see them on his parent dashboard. Conversely, when he creates a reward, I don't see it on my dashboard. Our student sees them both (good).
Parent dashboards should show the rewards for the student. Right now, for the other parent to see them, they have to sign in as the student15 votesHello,
With the home school addition, parents can both see the same dashboard and manage learning for their children!

Spelling idea
I would love to see spelling using a picture of what you want spelled and blanks. Maybe a hint button that adds a letter would be a "clue." so that kids can stay motivated. Maybe even a mode where all the letters were present in scrambled order for those that are really struggling. I make these worksheets up myself, using word, but it is very time consuming and I only have very rudimentary graphics.... I'd love to see an ScootPad Version of this spelling game for kids to try. I'd love to see lists of common spelling included sort of…

Spelling Groups
Groupings for spelling. Many of us are using Words Their Way which places students in developmental spelling groups. Can we have the option to create groups for spelling so we can assign a group a list of words rather than clicking (and sometimes forgetting) each student?
0 votesThanks for the suggestion! We have implemented adaptive Spelling Practice which gives teachers the ability to let their students learn vocabulary and spelling on Auto-Pilot.
Here is how it works:
1. Each path has 40 word lists
2. Students practice each list in the path, one-by-one
3. Once a student achieves a 100% on a word list, they pass that list
4. Once a student passes each word list they move on to the next list, and so om -
Option to Reassign Failed Assignments
Option to reassign failed assignments. (Now, I create a new assignment for just the student(s) who did not meet my expectations, but it would be nice to be able to delete their previous score and have them retake it without having to create a new assignment.)
15 votesHi all,
In 2.0, you are able to reassign assignments easily. Also, student scores are no longer the typical average but a decaying average which places more weight on the latest score. Thanks for your patience!
