Giving Students a Demonstration of Literably

Overview: Some teachers like to introduce Literably by giving their students a live demonstration of the program.

This can be especially useful at the beginning of the school year or when first launching Literably.  Logging in as a demo student is also an excellent way to try out a Literably assessment for yourself so that you can support students if needed. 

Directions:

1. Log in to your teacher account via Clever/ClassLink or at literably.com/login with your email and password.

2. Find the "Demo Student" on your class list, and assign the assessment to the demo student that you would like to demo. For example, if you would like to show your students how to take an Oral Reading Fluency assessment, assign the Demo Student to an ORF text by clicking on the pencil icon:

This will assign a text (level C: Dad Gets Food) to the demo student:

3. Then, click on "Login as demo student" under your demo student

4. Follow the directions at the top of the screen to log in as a demo student:

Enter your email address or username in the teacher email box.  

You can then select Demo Student from the drop down menu and click Log In.  

5. Once you log in, you can walk students through each section of the assessment from the demo account, without needing to worry about interfering with any real students' assessment histories:

6. If you attempt to read the assessment as a demo student, Literably will attempt to grade the recording and display the demo assessment results on your dashboard.  

Notes:

• If your district/school has disabled the student drop-down menu method of logging in for students, the demo student feature will not work.
• For districts using Clever/ClassLink, the demo student results on the dashboard will be removed each day due to the Clever/ClassLink sync, which keeps rosters up to date.
• To demo other types of assessments (e.g., Spelling, Phonics, etc.), assign those assessments to the Demo Student, then login.
