Choose an account typeHow does a student join a class?
A teacher creates a class and shares its class code. The student signs in, enters that code, and joins the class associated with it. Ask the teacher to confirm the code if it is not accepted.
What can teachers manage in PABASA?
Teachers can organize classes, manage learners and reading materials, assign activities, conduct or assist assessments, and review results that support classroom follow-up.
Reading activities
Understand assessments, practice modes, language choices, and microphone access.
How does an oral reading activity work?
The learner opens an assigned word, sentence, or paragraph activity and reads the displayed text aloud. PABASA uses the reading session to produce results that the teacher can review alongside their own professional judgment.
Why does PABASA need microphone access?
Microphone access is needed only for features that listen to oral reading. Allow access when the browser asks, use a quiet space, and speak clearly toward the device. You can manage microphone permission in your browser settings.
Does PABASA support Filipino and English?
Yes. Reading materials and activities may be prepared in Filipino or English, depending on what the teacher assigns and what is available in the learner’s class.
What is the difference between practice and assessment?
Practice is designed for repeated skill-building with supportive prompts. Assessment is a more structured reading check whose results can be reviewed by the teacher. Teachers decide how results should inform instruction.
