Navigate eBooks

Student and Teacher digital editions (also referred to as "eBooks," "myBook," "edition," "lessons," or "magazine" among possible other names) include content from the program and a table of contents to easily navigate within the eBook. Depending on the grade, program, and content, the eBook may provide additional resources such as audio, read-along highlighting, and annotations.

Teachers and administrators can access both Student eBooks and Teacher eBooks. Both of these include the same content; however, the Student eBook allows teachers to select a class and review student annotations using the Teacher Review feature.

Depending on the program and content, the eBook may default to a two-page view when first opened. If the two-page view is available, you can switch to one-page view using the More option.

Warning: If you lose your Internet connection while working in an eBook, any annotations that you continue to make will not be saved. If the Internet connection is lost, a warning displays at the top of the eBook page.

Below is an example of a Student eBook within a teacher's account followed by a table detailing the functionality of each component on the page.

Note:  Some lower grade level eBooks (K–2), depending on the program and content, offer more visual versions of the navigation functions and may not offer some or all of the following options: Review, Notes, More, and Bookmark.

Navigation details for this type of lower grade level eBook are highlighted in gray in the following table.
