Reading Courseware on Mobile

The student experience for SuccessMaker Reading Courseware on a mobile device is similar to that of students using SuccessMaker on a desktop.

When a student begins a new reading course, a Play button appears. Tap the Play button to continue.
After the opening character animation plays, select the Ferris character in the lower-right corner, to begin the course.

Reading Player Audio

When the course begins, instruction audio begins automatically. To replay audio, tap the word or sentence.
In reading passages, the student can tap and hold text to play the rollover audio. The text color changes to orange and a narrator reads the selected text or word that an image represents.
In some Learning Objects (LO)s, the student can tap a word to hear the word or word part read aloud.
The volume control in the left menu bar, is unavailable for videos when running a reading course directly from a mobile device. Use the volume control on the device to increase or decrease the volume when the left menu bar volume control is unavailable.
If Suppress Audio is set to On for the assignment:
- Passage text audio is disabled for Text Reader and Reading Portal Learning Objects. Auto play, hover text, and select-to-play audio for the passage text WILL NOT play.
- The Read to Me button is disabled, preventing the student from hearing the passage text read aloud.
- Instruction audio, activity questions, answer options, Glossary entries, and Coach prompts WILL play.
