Why can't my scholar see the full lesson right away?

Scholars must watch the full videos before proceeding with the lesson. These videos contain important information that students must watch to successfully proceed with the lesson. Once they have watched the full video and answered the gateway question, they may proceed with the lesson.

ELA has one gateway question and video at the beginning of the lesson, and History has multiple throughout the lesson.

My scholar is having a hard time reading this text. Are there any support resources in Actively Learn?
