# Student progress charts

> Reading benchmarks and language (ACTFL / comprehension) trends on the student trend report.

This feature lets staff open a student’s **progress report** to compare reading accuracy and fluency to benchmarks, and to review **language** progress (ACTFL proficiency by skill and reading comprehension) over BOY / MOY / EOY and multiple school years. For ACTFL proficiency background in plain language, with links to official resources. See [ACTFL proficiency scale (overview)](/hflow/actfl-proficiency-scale).

## How to open the report

1. From **Students**, click a student name to open the [student home page](/hflow/students/student-home-page), then choose the **Reading progress** or **Language progress** tab, or use the chart icon on a roster or gradebook row when your school still links that way.
2. Choose **Language** at the top of the page if you need a different program language than the roster filter (`?lang=` in the URL when present).

## How to switch between Reading and Language progress

1. Below the language selector, select **Reading progress** or **Language progress**.
2. Optional: share a direct link to the language tab by adding `?tab=language` (keep `?lang=` when needed).

The tab you chose sits on white content so it clearly looks active; the other tab rests on light gray track so it looks inactive.

## Reading progress tab

1. Use **Performance trend** (Current year / Last 3 years / All time) and **Year** when viewing the current year.
2. Review **Accuracy** and **Fluency** charts versus benchmarks.
3. Scroll to **Assessment snapshot** for the most recent year in the view.
4. Use **Copy Charts** to copy PNGs of the chart cards (same as export zones on the page).

## Language progress tab

1. Use the same **Performance trend** and **Year** controls as on the reading tab.
2. **ACTFL levels by skill (left chart):** Grouped **bars** by skill when data exists for that skill. **BOY / MOY / EOY** (or the period token in multi-year views) appears **under each bar**; the **skill name** is on the x-axis **below** that row with extra spacing so it doesn’t look cramped. **All skills use the same periwinkle** fill; **lighter opacity** means an **earlier** period in the view. Values are on a **1–9** scale (chart baseline includes **0**). **Inside** each bar, the label shows the **level number** with the **band abbreviation** (NL–AH) **under** it when the bar is tall enough; very short bars may show the number only. Tooltips show the **full** period label when it’s longer than BOY/MOY/EOY.
3. **Comprehension & skill levels (right chart):** Same layout as the ACTFL chart for periods and skill names. **Bar color** is by **level**: **1 = red**, **2 = yellow**, **3 = green**. **Reading** is comprehension on **1–3**; **Listening, Speaking, and Writing** use rubric **1 / 2 / 3**. Numeric labels stay **inside** the top of each bar. A **Level** key under the chart explains red / yellow / green (no separate gray period legend row).
4. **Copy Charts** captures both language chart cards when present. For organization-wide reports that also support PNG capture. See [Org reports](/hflow/reports).

### Common questions

* **Why is a skill missing?** On the **ACTFL** chart, skills without scheduled scores in the view are omitted. On the **comprehension** chart, all four skills stay on the axis; if a period has no score, that bar is empty.
