Setting Up At-Home Lessons in Waterford Reading Academy
For Teachers
If needed, you can allow your students to complete lessons at home by assigning them a username and password. From there, they will be able to access assignments for their course through my.waterford.org.
To set a username and password for a student and allow at-home lessons:
- Log in to your Waterford Reading Academy account.
- Select Students.
- Click on the arrow to the right of the student name that you would like to set up at-home lessons for.
- Enter a username and password for your student.
- Select Save.
- Send the username and password to the child’s parents as an email or physical copy.
Your student can now use this username and password to access Waterford courses from home after logging in at my.waterford.org.
Student usernames and passwords must be set individually. If you would like to set up student usernames and passwords in bulk, contact Waterford Support at (877) 499-7997 or waterford.org/support for more information.
For Families
Your child’s teacher may assign Waterford Reading Academy lessons to complete at home. You will need to access these assignments outside of Waterford Mentor, at my.waterford.org.
To start an at-home session for your child:
- Open Google Chrome and visit my.waterford.org.
- Enter the username and password for your child given to you by your child’s teacher.
- You will be redirected to a homepage with launch buttons for each of your child’s classes (such as SmartStart, Reading or Math & Science). Click on a subject to start a session for your child.
If you are not sure which session to start for your child and how often, stay in touch with your child’s teacher for assignment information.
