How will Oxford Reading Buddy help your child?Oxford Reading Buddy will...

• Give them a ‘buddy’ to help them understand what they are reading

• Check how your child is doing and make sure they have books at the right level

about Oxford Levels on the Support Site

Your child can choose from all books at their reading level

and below

Just click on a book to get

started!


Finding a book


Finding a quizYour child can take quizzes on many Oxford print books, as well as eBooks.

You can search for quizzes by

typing the title into the box

Click on the Quizzes tab to

find quizzes

TIP Encourage your child

to read the text without audio as they become

more confident

Infant level books have audio, which your child can use

if they wish


eBooks

Text tracking at the earliest levels helps your child to

follow the text

Every eBook ends with a quiz. Automatic marking shows your child’s teacher how they are getting on. Their quiz scores determine when they are ready to change level.

Remember, there are quizzes on print books as well as eBooks.

TIP If your child has to leave a quiz half finished, their

answers will be stored

TIP All quizzes are good

practice, but only quizzes ‘on level’ will count towards progress


Quizzes

The Coaching eBooks contain your child’s chosen buddy. The buddy will model, prompt and coach your child to become better at comprehension.

TIP The reading buddy is

a good model of how to support your child as

they read


Coaching eBooks

Coaching eBooks can be identified by the red smiley face symbol in the corner.

Your child will get badges for things like reading a lot, doing well in quizzes, listening to all of their buddy’s prompts, etc.

They can see their badges by going to the Badges screen.

TIP Badges can be

earned multiple times so encourage your child

to try for more!


Badges

Your child can see everything they’ve read, their quiz scores and their level-changes by going to the Progress screen.


Progress

Click on the ‘Add reading I have done’ button to add

wider reading


Adding wider reading• In Oxford Reading Buddy,

all reading is valued, not just books in the system.

• On the Progress screen you or your child can record any other reading that they have done

• This means that you, your child and their teacher can see all your child’s reading to talk about and celebrate

TIP Click the Help button to

visit the Support Site, where there is a special section

for parents and carers

How you can help your child

• Encourage your child to read regularly, both on and off Oxford Reading Buddy

• Talk to your child about what they are reading

• Resist the temptation to help your child on the quizzes because their answers will help your child’s teacher understand their needs

• Encourage your child to listen to the ‘Buddy prompts’, as these will help them improve their comprehension

• Be patient and encouraging, as children progress at different rates

TIP Sometimes children move down

levels as well as up. Don’t worry if this happens; it may take a little while for

the system to assess your child’s level correctly.

How will I know how my child is getting on?

• You can look at your child’s Progress screen to find out how many books they have read and their quiz scores

• The Progress screen also records level changes

• You can look at the Badge screen to see what badges your child has earned in their current level

Don’t forget the Support Site!

• The Support Site has a special section for parents and carers.

• It contains more information on all aspects of the service, including Oxford Levels, Comprehension skills and technical support
