How to Use the Grades Report

The Grades Report gives teachers a complete view of student performance across all activity types — vocabulary, spelling, typing, writing, and special activities. Use it to track grades over time, spot trends, and identify students who may need extra support.

Availability: The Grades Report is available to Teachers, Super Users, and Resource Teachers.

Step 1: Go to the Grades Report

• From your Teacher Dashboard, click Reports in the left sidebar.
• On the Reports hub, click the Grades card. The report will load with your students' most recent activity.

Step 2: Set your filters

• Use the filter bar at the top to narrow down the results:
  • Date range — choose a time period (Today, Last 7 Days, Last 30 Days, or a custom range).
  • Filter by Result — filter by Passed, Failed, or All (default).
  • Type — filter by activity category: All, Vocabulary Activities, Spelling Activities, Typing Activities, Writing Activities, or Special Activities (Vocab Beats, Story Time and Poems).
  • Filter mode — switch between By Students or By Groups.
  • Student(s) — select one or more students, or leave blank to include everyone.
• Click Filter to apply your selections. The summary cards, charts, and table will all update.
• Enable Include other classes if you want to see activities your students completed in another teacher's class. A Teacher column will appear in the table to identify the source.

? Pro Tip: A grade is considered passed when it meets or exceeds your passing goal (default: 70%). You can adjust your passing goal in your account settings.

Step 3: Read the summary cards and charts

• Three summary cards give you a quick snapshot of class performance for the selected period:
  • Grade AVG — the average score across all filtered results.
  • Total Unique Students — the number of individual students included in the results.
  • Most Performed Activity — the activity completed most often during the selected period.
• Below the cards, two charts help you visualize performance over time:
  • Activities by Period (line chart) — shows how many activities each student completed across the selected date range.
  • Word Lists with the Most Completed Activities (bar chart) — highlights the top 10 word lists by total activity count.

Step 4: Review the results table

• The table shows one row per completed activity, with the following columns: student name, list group, word list, activity, type, date, and grade earned.
• Use the Filter records search box above the table to find a specific student or word list quickly.
• Click Reorder by Last Name to sort the table alphabetically by student surname.

Q: Can I see grades from word lists I didn't assign?
A: Yes. Enable the "Include other classes" toggle to show activities your students completed in other teachers' classes. A Teacher column will appear in the table to identify the source, and those rows will be displayed in italics.

Step 5: Export the grades report

• Use the export buttons above the results table to save or share the report:
  • Copy — copy all table data to your clipboard.
  • CSV — download as a CSV file.
  • Excel — download as an Excel spreadsheet.
  • PDF — download as a PDF (landscape) with the Vocab Loco logo and date.
  • Print — open a print-ready preview of the report.

? Pro Tip: Filter by "Failed" and select a broad date range to quickly identify students who are struggling across multiple activity types — then use the Type filter to drill down by Spelling, Vocabulary, or Writing.
