My Assignment
Go to the My Assignment area to Read and Listen to the 3 storybooks that have digitally assigned to you according to your age group.
E.g. If you are under Category A, you will see a folder named ‘Category A’, and inside the folder will contain ‘My First Class Play’, ‘Stone Soup’, and ‘Wash Your Hands’.
Leveled Books
When you have read, listened to, and completed the eQuizzes in My Assignment, the books will no longer be in your folder.
However, you can still retrieve them in Reading Room. In Reading Room, go to Leveled Books and you can find all 3 books according to the book level.
Referring to the books selection listed above, you can easily find the books in Leveled Books. E.g. My First Class Play (Level D), you can find this book when you click on Level D.
My Favorites
When you reach the end of a book, you can “favorite” it by selecting the heart icon at the end of the book. The book will then appear in My Favorites in your Reading Room for easy access anytime, along with any other favorites.
