How do I get families to connect to Bookroo?

Download the welcome flyers from Families and send them home. Each student gets their own page with a QR code and a code that connect their family's free Bookroo account to their class reading.

Steps

1. Open your class and click Families in the sidebar. (The Connect with families card on Home opens the same page.)
2. Under Introduce Parents to Bookroo, click Download flyers for English. For Spanish, open the arrow next to it and choose Download Spanish.
3. Print the PDF and send each page home with that student.

What families get

Each page is a note to that student's family: the class uses Bookroo, and a free family account lets them follow along at home. Under Connect in 2 minutes, a parent:

1. Scans the QR code with their phone's camera, or goes to bookroo.com/claim-reader.
2. Creates a free account, or signs in.
3. Enters the student's 8-character code (printed like ABCD-EFGH). Scanning the QR code fills it in for them.

The student's class reading then shows up in the parent's account. Parents can check in on it and record reading done at home.

Flyer or claim link?

They do the same thing. The flyer prints a code for every student at once. A claim link goes to one family at a time, by email or message. See Connect a student to their family.

Good to know

• A student whose family is already linked gets a page saying their family is already connected, with no code. Each code works only once.
• You need Edit access or higher to the class. With View access, the flyers print "Ask me for the code" instead of codes.
• The same page has Parent-Teacher Reports for conferences. See Student reading report.
