Best Practices for Student Device Maintenance

Waterford recommends these device management tips to ensure a smooth experience:

When launching Waterford activities, clear all other apps and tabs on your device.
If the activity appears to be running slowly, clear your device’s cache or memory and refresh the activity.
Use the Teacher Tools Menu to troubleshoot and report any issues after refreshing the activity.
Keep the guidelines found here in mind when using headphones with any Waterford activities.
After finishing your session for the day, make sure to close out of the Waterford app if you are using an iPad or close all tabs if you are using a browser.
Make sure your device, browser, and Waterford Reading Academy app are updated to the latest version.
When using an iPad to access Waterford, please make sure you are accessing via the Waterford Reading Academy app and not the browser itself for the best experience.
- If using a third-party rostering application, you may access via that portal first, but you will still need the Waterford Reading Academy app installed for it to redirect correctly.
