General Information
Item types are differentiated by grade bands and are included in students' Personalized Learning Plans or can be unlocked as a standalone assignment for students to complete.
When using the quizzes as standalone assignments, we recommend unlocking them vertically versus horizontally to ensure students have exposure to each item type. Lesson Model Videos can be watched in whole-group settings. Check/uncheck the box to require the Lesson Model Video before students can start a quiz.
Scored item type quizzes will be included in TELPAS Readiness reports and in the Composite Summary Report.

Use the icon of your TELPAS Readiness course to access your TEACHER REPORTS DASHBOARD. You can use this page to pull class or individual student data. View one of our guides below for more information:
Listening and Speaking
The Listening-Speaking course in our Connect to Literacy product contains 16 unique listening and speaking item types, with lesson model videos and over 450 items across 5 different grade bands. All listening and speaking item types include lesson model videos while speaking items contain Model Exemplars students can listen to during quiz feedback. Teachers can also listen to students' recorded responses to provide more targeted intervention.
Quizzes in Listening and Speaking are auto-scored. Occasionally, a score may say Pending if the system is still scoring the student's responses. Users typically only need to refresh the page to find their scores. During periods of high traffic on our LMS, it may take up to 24 hours for a score to appear.
If the Pending notification persists after 24 hours, please do not hesitate to contact us for additional assistance:

Reading and Writing
The Reading-Writing course in our Connect to Literacy product contains 10+ unique reading and writing item types, with lesson model videos and available scaffolds across 7 different grade bands.
Quizzes in Reading are auto-scored, while most item type quizzes in Writing will need to be scored by the teacher. A Pending notification will appear until the quiz has been scored. To learn how to score TELPAS Writing item types, please navigate to this article.
Courses will see Reading Type scaffolds if they are available for that grade band. Scaffolded quizzes are indicated by the scaffold icon and are included as additional practice. They may be shorter in length or less challenging for students to perform independently. Consider unlocking these quizzes to build up student confidence in particular skill areas.
