Teacher User Guide

🍕 Welcome to the BOOK IT!® Program

Welcome to bookitprogram.com — a reading incentive platform designed to motivate and reward your students for reaching their reading goals. This guide will walk you through the entire process of using the website—from enrollment to classroom tracking.

1. Enroll and find your school

Start at the teacher enrollment page for your school’s country. Enter your name and grade, choose your state or province, and search for your school.

English examples show U.S. enrollment; French examples show Canadian enrollment. Choose your own school’s country. Some labels on the live French screens still appear in English.

Example with sample information. Select the image to enlarge.

If your school is not found

  1. Check the country and state or province. Enter at least three characters; try the full school name and city. Select Search.
  2. Select “Can’t find your school? Expand search.” An empty initial search also expands automatically. Check the approved and government school directory results before adding a school.
Example with sample information. Select the image to enlarge.
  1. If the correct school appears, select it and choose Confirm School. Check the address before continuing. If it is still missing, choose “Add your school.”
  2. Enter the official school name, address, country, state or province, ZIP or postal code, school email domain, and grade range. The website and phone are optional. Submit for review.
Example with sample information. Select the image to enlarge.
  1. Wait for “School submitted for review,” then select Return to Enrollment. Search again using expanded search and select the school. Submitting a school is not the same as approval of your teacher account.
  2. After confirming your school, enter your school email and select Verify My Email. Open the verification link to continue. If the account is under review, follow its status instructions; reward codes stay unavailable until approval.

3. Add Classroom

After logging in, follow these steps to set up your classroom:

Step 1: Click on “+ Add New Classroom”

On the Classroom Set Up screen enter the following:

  • Teacher's Name
  • Class Name
  • Grade
  • Reading goal per day: Click drop down to select the goal amount, then select if you want the goal per minutes, pages, or books.
  • Select the Number of days students must read to meet the reading goal.Note: BOOK IT!® requires your classroom to reach its reading goal for at least 15 days in the month in order to generate reward certificates during the claim period.
  • Readers List: Enter each student's name manually (First Name or Nickname, Last Name is optional)
  • Paste Readers List: Paste a list of students' names to auto fill/replace Readers List

Step 2: Save Your Classroom

Click "Save and Continue" to proceed to Classroom Reading Tracker.

Share a classroom with another teacher

  1. On the dashboard, choose Add Classroom, or choose Edit Classroom on an existing classroom.
  2. For a regular classroom, enter your colleague’s email in the optional Alternate Teacher field. For a librarian classroom, select Invite primary teacher (we both can record), then enter that teacher’s email in Primary Teacher.
  3. Save the classroom. An invitation is sent to the address you entered. If the page says the invitation could not be confirmed, the classroom was saved; contact support before trying again.
  4. Ask the invited teacher to sign in, or create a teacher account, with that same email address. The shared classroom appears on their dashboard; they can open it without creating another classroom or adding the readers again.

Both teachers can track reading and manage rewards in the shared classroom. Coordinate before issuing rewards. If either teacher already has a separate classroom for the same students, check reading and reward history and contact support before deleting a classroom.

4. Dashboard

The teacher dashboard displays all the classrooms you have created. Under Your Classrooms, click Open to access the Reading Tracker, or click Add Classroom to create additional classrooms. You can also find the locations of the nearest Pizza Hut restaurants to your school. Additionally, you will find other participating teachers from your school and have the option to invite more. Below, you will find fun printable activities. Click on any activity to view or print it.
