Reading Resources Where You Want Them with TeachingBooks Sharing Tools

TeachingBooks sharing tools are a powerful way for everyone in your community to seamlessly learn about the book and author resources that are relevant to them. For any title, resource, or booklist on TeachingBooks, you can instantly collaborate and give resources to others with no sign-in required. For example:

  • Embed resources directly into your Google Classroom or learning management systems.
  • Distribute QR code printables to seamlessly connect readers to resources—add them a display, listening center, or with a book set.
  • Email a colleague with a quick note and share all the resources for a title.
  • Promote family literacy by sharing resources into websites and newsletters.

TeachingBooks sharing tools make it easy to distribute book and author resources across your community without requiring recipients to log in. Just look for the red share arrow! Dive in now and explore tools to encourage circulation and curiosity about the titles in your collections.

And as always, we'd love to know how you're using the sharing tools with your readers!

Our best,
The TeachingBooks Team
