How to create classes and add children to ATLAS:

1. Go to accesstoliteracy.com/assessment. The Google Chrome browser works best

2. Make an account — or Enter a username and password you have created. You will not have to verify your account, but will have immediate access.

3. Before children can be added, a class with a name needs to be made. To create a new class, press the Add Class button. Then, type in the new class name and hit submit.

4. Now that you have created a new class, click on the class name to add a student. You will then need to click on the Add Student button at the bottom right of the page.  

5. Choose a child ID. You can use a number or letters, but there may be no spaces in the ID.

6. Enter the child’s date of birth (MM/DD/YYYY).

7. Enter the child’s method of input (i.e., touchscreen or cursor).

8. Enter the level of instructions (Basic, Basic+, or Enhanced) based on the description provided below.

Select Basic if the child:

• Knows basic early literacy concepts
• Has few behavioral issues

Select Basic+ if the child:

• May not be familiar with early literacy
• Has one or two behavioral or cognitive challenges
• Is a relatively independent test taker

Select Enhanced if the child:

• May not be familiar with early literacy
