Once you've created your Group, the next step is adding students to that Group. To add students, follow the below steps.
1. From your dashboard, click on Students.
The Digital Reader allows you to create student groups so you can assign books to multiple students in a single place.

Creating Student Groups
To create a student group, follow the steps below. *Please note that student groups are not copied over as part of the Academic Term creation. This means teachers will need to create new student groups for their new classroom each term.
1. From your dashboard, click on Groups.
2. Click the Add New Group button.
3. Give the group a name and click Create.
4. To adjust the group settings, click on Group Settings.
5. From here, you can Edit Group Name, Manage Students, or Change Group Icon. You can also delete the group if needed. *Please note, you cannot add students from this page. For instructions on how to add students, please see Adding Students to a Group.
A few notes about the group icon:
- Students do not see the group name or the avatar/color icon associated with the group.
- If you select a color icon, the letter inside the circle will always be the first letter of that group's name. For example, if your group is called Blue Group, the letter inside the circle will be a B.
