The problem
Paper practice does not prepare students for test day.
When practice looks nothing like the test, students spend test day learning the screen instead of showing what they know.
What test day demands
Highlight a sentence. Cross out a wrong answer. Open the dictionary. Listen to the passage read aloud. Switch to Spanish. None of that lives on a worksheet.
OnSTAGE rehearses all of it, so test day feels familiar.
How it worksThe test screen
Close to the test, on purpose
Navigation, toolbar, passage on the left, questions on the right. Every screenshot on this page comes straight from the live OnSTAGE app.
A Grade 4 reading performance in OnSTAGE: tabs for each question, answer choices with cross out controls, and the full toolbar across the top.
How it works
Three steps from practice to next move
Take a Performance
Students open a TEKS aligned passage and answer each question inside the authentic test screen.
Use the Tools
Highlight, strikethrough, dictionary, notepad, line reader, zoom, and read aloud work exactly as they do on test day.
Review the Data
Teachers open activity and TEKS reports that name the next move for each student.
Look closer at the tools students use every day.

Strikethrough
Students cross out answer choices they have ruled out with one tap on the X.
Content Language Support
The full passage, every question, and every control switch to Spanish with one setting. Same TEKS, same rigor.
Read Aloud and Settings

Reports
Data with direction
Every report turns practice into a plan: who needs support, which TEKS to rehearse next, and how each student grows over time.
Class overview: users listed, average score, most missed TEKS, and students to watch. Each row opens activity and TEKS detail.
Growth view: progress across performances, so teachers see movement, not just one score.
View Activity
What each student did inside every performance.
TEKS Summary
Which standards each student missed and which to rehearse next.
Performance Review

Growth Over Time
Line by line progress across performances for the class and each student.
Highlighter toolbox
Four colors plus an eraser
The toolbox opens beside the passage with yellow, orange, mint green, and lavender plus an eraser, so each student can mark the text in the color that helps them most.
