Assign Books

Students on school accounts can only read books that have been assigned to them by their teachers. There are two ways to assign books: One at a time using the Assign & Read feature, or many books at a time with a Reading List.

Assign Books with Assign & Read

Log into your account.
Search for a book, then select the Assign button.
Select the name of the student(s) you wish to assign this book, then select the Assign button.

Students now have immediate access to the book!
