  2. 2Open the Standards tab
  3. 3Click Add standard and write the Code, Description and Subject
  4. 4Tick "Has to be solid before moving on" so a student stops there until she has it
  5. 5Type what to do about it in "What to work on it", and point at a book with Practice from a book
  6. 6Click Add standard, then open its subject's section — the skill shows a "Has to be solid" badge
