Bookmarking a Reading Selection

If a student logs out of the reading component before completing a Reading lesson, the program will save their place within the lesson, or "bookmark" it. When the student opens lessons again they will see the same lesson screen where they left off.  Student will have the option to continue from where they left off or reread the text from the beginning. 

 

Exiting a Reading Selection to Choose a Different One

Exiting from the Title Screen or Interest Builder

Sometimes, after choosing a reading selection, students may find a text is not what they expected and may wish to shoose something different. After a student chooses a selection, they can click the Back button from the first two screens they see to return to the Selection screen and choose a different selection.

Exiting after re-opening a Reading Selection

When a student returns to a bookmarked selection, the student will have the option to continue from where they left off or reread the text from the beginning. If the student chooses to reread from the beginning, the student will have access to the Back button on the interest build screen and can use the button to exit and return to the Selection screen to choose something new.
