We’ve made it easier than ever to assign lessons and create personalized books for your students in Book Creator, the top book app for classrooms. With this new feature, teachers can now quickly assign a book, and each student will receive their own editable copy. Whether you’re looking to make your own book from scratch or use our pre-made templates, Book Creator simplifies the entire process.

Assigning books to students – a simpler way

Gone are the days when students had to manually copy a teacher’s book to get started. Now, with one click, you can assign a book to your whole class, and each student will have their own copy to work with.

Bright, colorful visuals, including a rainbow and the Book Creator logo, are visible in the background.

Simply sign in, click “Start Assignment,” and create your own book template to distribute. Each student’s book will appear in your library, ready for them to open and start learning.
