Our mission is to make reading meaningful for every student. To support this, we’ve created the Student Library, which must be curated by your school or district. We recommend filling it with a diverse selection of articles, poems, plays, short stories, and simulations. These texts will first need to be placed in the District Library by an admin with the appropriate permissions, and then can be moved to the Student Library.
Here is a helpful blog on increasing student passion for reading: From carrots to caring: Motivating Students to Read
Accessing Student Library
On the navigation menu, students can select "Library"
Types of articles to add to Student Library
Educators can add a variety of content, such as current event articles, literary classics, or engaging simulations, to align with their curriculum. The available content to select from spans multiple genres and comes from trusted, high-quality sources.Once the content is in the Student Library, students can filter by grade level, topic, and ratings. When a student selects a piece of content, it will open in a new browser tab for easy access.
Reviewing and Recommending Articles
When a student finishes a piece of content from the Student Library, they are encouraged to review it and share it with their peers.
Adding Content
With the Actively Learn Prime Plan, you can add an assignment to your school's student library for your students to discover. Content added to the student library is only visible by students rostered at that school or district.
To add assignments to the student library, you need to first add them to your school or district library.
Then, from there you can add it to the student library. These pieces of content will appear on the main student library page under the section "Recommended from your School/District."
