Teacher Lists in AR Bookguide

Updated

When you create a list, you have the option of making it a Teacher List. A Teacher List can be viewed using a keycode in Accelerated Reader Bookfinder. (To see your keycode, open the Personal Preferences.)

Once you give them the keycode, parents, guardians and students can use your Teacher Lists in Accelerated Reader Bookfinder to help them find appropriate books.

The way you entered your name when you set up your account determines how your name will appear on your Teacher Lists. To change how your name appears, edit your User Account information.
