Connecting Your Books to Your Technologies

During this past year, we integrated our literacy service into many commonly used technologies. If any of the options below fit your learning community, let us know and we will help ensure that they are optimally set up.

Technology Integrations

Do you use any of these technologies in your schools?

If so, check to see if TeachingBooks has been added and properly authenticates. If you don't see TeachingBooks already integrated, either email us or review tech integration directions so that these resources can be seamlessly accessible for you and everyone in your learning community.

New! An integration with MackinVIA and its deep discovery tool. Just take a look in your VIA databases and you should see an immediate connection to TeachingBooks waiting for you!

Reading Integrations

Do you use any reading programs that incorporate trade books? For example:

If so, TeachingBooks would love to provide you with a customized link that contains all of the resources we have for the very books and authors in your reading programs. Then you can share and/or embed these resource collections for all of your students, teachers, and families.

Once you send us the name of your program and the titles you're using, we'll give you back one link to share or embed that is filled with resources.

We would love to help ensure that you're getting the most from your TeachingBooks service.

My best,
