Alpha Test

When you log into Bedrock Learning for the first time you will be asked to take an Alpha Test. The Alpha Test will test your understanding of the definitions of different words. Each question has multiple choice answers. The test should take 30 minutes to complete. When you have completed the test you will be assessed to a block. 

This video will show you what the Alpha Test looks like:

How Does Bedrock Vocabulary Work?

● Each block contains 10 to 14 topics and is worth a school year’s worth of topics.

● Each topic will either be a fiction topic like The Legends of Perseus or An Noble Legend. Non-fiction topics like the lives of Henry VIII's wives or learning about the history of the Obamas.

● For each topic, you will learn the definitions to a list of words.

● At the start of each topic, you will do a pre-test to see if you already understand the definitions of any words in the topic. Please don’t worry if you get a low score on the pre-test. As you will learn the definitions of these words throughout the topic.

● Each topic has 6 lessons. In each lesson, you will read a passage of text linked to the topic, learn the definitions of some new words and do some fun interactive exercises/quizzes.

● At the end of the topic, you will take a post-topic test to see if you now understand the definitions of all the words in your topic.

● Between your lessons, you will have some Recaps/Reteach exercises to do. This is to help you in recapping the definition of words your still learning on Bedrock Learning or to test you on your past knowledge of words you have already learned on Bedrock Learning Vocabulary.
