Your first week with Bookroo

A plan for going from an empty class to a class that's reading, in five short steps. Until half your students have signed in, your class Home shows the same plan as Your first week, and ticks each step off as your class does it.

Day 1: Set up (10 minutes)

1. Start a free class and add your students: Add students under Your first week on Home (Add students).
2. Print sign-in cards: Print … cards beside your class code on Home prints one for each student who hasn't signed in. For QR cards (K–3), use Roster → Print QR Codes (How students sign in).
3. Sharing the class? Give your co-teacher access.

Day 2: Students sign in

• Click Show to class on Home and put it on the projector. It shows bookroo.com/go, your class code, the steps (choose Enter class code, type the code, pick their name and type their passcode), and a tile for each student that lights up as they sign in.
• Hand out the cards. Each student records one book they're reading. You can log it for them with Log reading.
• Anyone stuck? See A student can't sign in.

Day 3: Set a goal

• Every new class starts with a weekly goal of 100 pages. Change it to one everyone can reach (Reading baseline), or add a challenge, such as a class Team Quest (Create a reading challenge).

Day 4: Quizzes and points

• Decide whether points wait for a quiz (Require a quiz before points).
• Show students how to take a quiz when they finish a book (How Bookroo quizzes work). Try one yourself on Home opens a sample quiz.

Day 5: Tell families

• Send home the flyer from Families (Get families connected).
• If you like, send claim links (Connect a student to their family).

The rest of Bookroo is under Everything Bookroo can do on Home: click Show all tools. Once half the class has signed in, Home shows every tool, and you can check it once a week: … of … read this week shows who's reading, and … haven't read in two weeks counts students who need a nudge.
