Publish With Your Class!
Great for virtual learning!
Why Publishing Matters!
There is nothing more gratifying than to see your students excited to learn. When you publish a book with your class, you’ll watch your students’ faces light up as they become published authors and create a professionally bound book just like they would find in the library. Publishing a book together, no matter where your class is learning, will get your students excited about writing and inspire their best effort.
With learning taking on so many forms this year we’re here to help you make the most of your publishing project while your students are distance learning. Keep reading for more details on how easily you can create a classbook this year.
