How does the Literacy Challenge work?

Each week, both the Words Rock Leaderboard and the Volcanic Panic Reading Success Leaderboard calculate and display in rank order, the total number of questions answered correctly for each class broken down by country, state and age group. At the end of the designated Literacy Challenge week we will award Gold, Silver and Bronze status to Australian schools on an age group basis. Since the results will be displayed on the Leaderboard classes ranking lower than a 1st, 2nd or 3rd position can still see their rank and celebrate accordingly.

Important Information regarding class tallys

  1. We employ standard deviation filters to ensure that results that are atypical for a student are discounted and not used for the calculation of class results. This methodology assumes that each student will build their skills in a progressive manner and guards against the possibility of others with higher skills artificially inflating a student’s result by working in their account.Words
