The new school year is a moment brimming with excitement—and a fair share of pre-class jitters. Whether you’re a teacher, coach, or literacy specialist, getting your Readable English classroom ready should propel success, not cause stress. That’s why our **Class Set Up Checklist** has you covered.

Here’s your roadmap to a confident Readable English launch:

 

## 1. Roster Readiness: Start Strong

- Update your student roster early.
- Schools using Clever? Reach out to your tech team if anything seems off.
- Roster manually? Visit our Support tab to keep things running smoothly.
- All powered up and smiling? Great! You’re ready for the next step.
  
   

## 2. Tech-Check: Gear Up for Success

Ensure both you and your students are tech-ready:

- Use a device that can connect to and project onto your main screen.
- Have students install the [Readable Web Chrome extension](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/readable-english/gigbjlnkinjecaaelijedhfolllklmmm).
- Don’t forget headsets with built-in microphones for accurate ORF (Oral Reading Fluency) monitoring.
- Need help? Our [Tech Specs](https://readablenglish.com/tech-specs?hs_preview=kogYWgNF-189579088196) guide is just a click away.

 

## 3. Classroom Setup: Activate Your Learning Stations

Set the stage for dynamic learning:

- Create interactive zones: Games Station, Worksheet Station, and Assessment Station.
- Reserve a quiet area dedicated to ORF recordings.
- Curious about layout best practices? Connect with friendly support team or drop into one of our webinars or office hours.

 

## 4. Teaching Materials: Everything in Place

Build your toolkit:

- Familiarize yourself with materials for Breaking the Code: choose between teacher-led slides or independent student lessons.
- Download and print classroom posters, labels, and glyph cards from the Teaching Resources page.
- For students without device access, printable versions of worksheets and games are available.

## Why This Matters Now

Getting everything in place at the start of the school year transforms first-day butterflies into reading confidence. With classroom tech functioning, materials at hand, and spaces primed for learning, you ensure every student jumps in—excited, engaged, and ready to decode fluently.

 

## Bonus Tips for an Even Smoother Start

- Schedule a trial session before the first class to double-check device readiness and browser installations.
- Use station rotation to keep students moving and engaged while you support readers one-on-one.
- Hang up glyph posters and labels—visual reminders of Readable English learning tools go a long way.

 

## Need Support or Inspiration? 

- Be sure to check out the [Implementation Infographics](https://readablenglish.com/implementation-infographics) page for visual guides on Benchmarking & Progress Monitoring, Teacher-Led and Student-Led models, and Understanding the Data.
- Explore the [Help Center](https://readablenglish.com/knowledge) for articles on Benchmarking, ORF, Conversion Tools, and more. 
- Visit the [Resource & Product Enablement Library](https://readablenglish.com/resource-product-enablement-library) for research-backed materials, guides, and classroom-ready assets.
