Students can complete a ClearFluency training session one of two ways. See the following topics.
If the student is using a schedule, the component automatically notifies the student when the time is completed. See Complete the schedule.
If the student is not using a schedule, or if a scheduled student wants to end the session early, the student can manually exit the training session. See End a session manually.
After exiting, the student can start a new session at any time. For those on a schedule, the schedule will start over on the next training session, no matter how much time is left.
By default, ClearFluency assigns a schedule that allows the student to work for 20 minutes each session. You can change the schedule for students as needed. When the student completes the schedule, the software notifies the student that the time is completed and gives the student the option to leave or continue working.
Regardless of the schedule, students can manually exit the session at any time by clicking the Exit button in the upper right corner of any screen.
If the student is using a schedule but has not completed it, a session status message appears with the time left in the schedule asking if the student really wants to end the session. The schedule will start over on the next training session.
If the student has completed the schedule, or the student is not using one, the software gives the student the option to leave or continue working. For those on a schedule, the schedule will start over on the next training session.
After completing the Word Wall activity, ClearFluency prompts the student to move to the first main activity, Preview and Read. After a few moments, the component automatically opens the activity. For complete details, see How students complete Word Wall.
After completing an activity, ClearFluency awards an achievement marker that indicates how well the student did in the activity. The component prompts the student to move to the next step (if any) and after a few moments, automatically moves to the next step. For details, see the following topics:

When the student completes a selection, the Selection report appears, which shows the latest results for the three main activities in the selection.
On the Library screen, the software moves the selection to the end of the list and shows an achievement marker on the book cover based on the student’s performance (see Student achievement in the selections):
Check mark. The student is still developing competency with the material
Silver star. The student has shown competency with the material
Gold star. The student is accomplished with the material
After completing a selection, the student should start working on the next available selection in the library. Completed selections will remain available to the student for further practice; however, repeating a selection will not change the achievement score, no matter how well the student performs. This helps encourage the student to work on new content and progress in the library.
When the student successfully completes all of the selections in the assigned library, consider updating the student’s library assignment. See ClearFluency libraries.
