Once you have added books to your Book Bag, you can recommend them to your students. Once you finish recommending the books, they will be cleared from your Book Bag. Note: You can also recommend books to students that you have added to your favorites and book bundles.
Select Recommend to Students at the bottom of the Book Bag window.
Students will see the books you recommend for 30 days by default. If you want to set a different end date for the book recommendations, type the date in the "Recommend until" field. The end date can be up to 90 days from the current date.
Next, find and check the students that you want to recommend the books to.
If you are a teacher, your roster is shown by default, and you can check any of the students in your class, click Select All to check all of the students, or click Unselect All to uncheck all students.
If you want to recommend the book to a specific student and the list is long, it may be faster to search for the student in the list to find the student more quickly.
To confirm which students have been selected, select the number to the right of the "Students Selected" heading. This opens the selected students in another window, where you can choose to deselect some. After reviewing the list, select Cancel to close the window without saving changes or Accept to save any changes you've made before closing the window.
If you prefer to recommend the books to students in a specific group, select the My Groups tab. On that tab, use the drop-down list to select the group, then check students.
If you are a Building Administrator, instead of the My Roster tab, you'll see My Building and My Teachers tabs. The My Building tab lets you recommend books by grade; use the drop-down list to choose the grade. The My Teachers tab lets you recommend books to students of a specific teacher; use the drop-down list to choose the teacher. You will also see a My Groups tab that lets you choose a group as teachers do. Once you've chosen a tab and a grade, teacher or group, select the students that you want to recommend books to.
When you select Recommend to Students, the books will be removed from your Book Bag and will appear for your students. Students will see a section on their opening myON page with the books and who recommended them. Each student can decide whether to read the recommended books. Recommended books stay in this group until the end date you selected or until the student reads them.
