TeachingBooks Access for Everyone in Your Community

With TeachingBooks in one hand, and the books from your libraries and classrooms in the other, the possibilities to support, scaffold, and enrich the reading experience expand exponentially.

Access is for everyone in your community — so we want to make sure everything is set up just right so it can be as effortless and seamless as possible for your students, faculty, and families — from campus or remote.

First, if you are using Clever or ClassLink, please make sure it includes TeachingBooks. If not, contact us for support.

Educator/Adult Sign In
If you have not yet created an Educator Login, the process is simple and will enhance your Teachingbooks experience. You will be able to...

1. Seamlessly share resources with colleagues and students - your recipient is provided immediate access.
2. Create custom reading lists filled with resources.
3. Subscribe to newsletters for support and integration ideas.
4. Use the text complexity toolkit for selection and differentiation.

Student Sign In
Anonymous access is provided for all students to readily explore the resources available and deepen their reading experience. Students can sign in with your organization's username and password, and to simplify the process during COVID-19, we can provide you direct access buttons for your websites that will sign students right into your account. Request this for your institution by filling out this form.

Hands-free Book Choosing Ideas

We are all faced with challenges that we probably haven't ever imagined. How can you preview a title if you can't pick up the book to read the back cover? With TeachingBooks you have many options! Whether you organize curbside pick up, take a cart into classrooms, or still allow readers to explore options in your library, we have 5 ideas to hook readers and help them choose titles to read.
