For Families

Your child’s teacher may assign Waterford Reading Academy lessons to complete at home. To log your student in using their QR Code:

  1. Open Google Chrome and visit my.waterford.org. If you are using a tablet or iPad, download and open the Waterford Reading Academy App.
  2. Select the Scan button. A pop-up window will appear.
  3. Choose Allow to give my.waterford.org permission to open your device’s camera.
  4. Hold the QR code badge up to your device’s camera to begin scanning.

When the device recognizes the QR code, your student will be redirected to the Waterford Reading Academy homepage.

  1. Click on a course to start a session: SmartStart or Reading, or Math & Science. If you are not sure which session to start for your child and how often, stay in touch with your child’s teacher.
Waterford automatically personalizes a sequence of activities for your child based on their ongoing performance. This personalized sequence will provide extra support for your child’s unique needs. With that in mind:
• Do encourage your child to always do their best.
• Do not allow other children or adults to log in as your child.
• Do not guide your child to the correct answers.
