Teachers can assign tasks in Reading Eggs and Reading Eggspress for in-class activities or homework.
Assigning a task in Reading Eggs:

To check your students' progress on assigned tasks, select ‘Manage Assignments’
-
Click the drop-down box to the left of the assignment. From there, you can view all students assigned the task and their status ('Active' or ‘Completed’). For completed tasks, check the student's average score and how many times they needed to complete the end-of-lesson quiz to achieve an 80% score. Students must reach this score to pass and complete the lesson.

To expire or change the dates of an assignment, select the 'Edit' button. Adjust the dates or click 'Expire Assignment.' Don't forget to click 'Save Changes'. Note that changing the date or expiring an assignment will affect all students assigned the task. It's not possible to alter or expire assignments for individual students or part of the group.
Assigning a task in Reading Eggspress:
The process for assigning tasks in Reading Eggspress follows the same steps as in Reading Eggs. Begin in the Reading Eggspress section of the left-hand menu and select ‘Assignments’.
