The PreK–12 literacy resource TeachingBooks announced today a new partnership with Clever, the most widely used single sign-on (SSO) portal in K–12 schools nationwide. All of TeachingBooks’ resources that bring books and reading to life will be freely available to all educators in the Clever Library, a catalog of high-quality digital resources that teachers can deploy to their classroom within seconds.
With Clever Library, educators easily browse learning applications by subject or grade level and read peer reviews.
