Every student playing Read to Lead will need their own student account. Student accounts are different from educator accounts and are not created in the same way. To get started with creating classes and inviting students, navigate to the “Classes” page from your navigation bar, then follow the steps below based on your account type (form, Google, or Clever).

Form-based accounts (accounts created using an email and password)

  1. Click the “New Class” button.

  2. Click “Create Class Manually”.

  3. Fill out the requested information about your class.

  4. Click the “Create New Class and Invite Students” button.

  5. Choose how you’d like to add your students from the four options available.

Option 1: Send an email invitation - Enter each student’s email address separated by a comma and click the “Send” button. Your students will receive an email from us with a link to register and accept the invitation. At the link in the email, students will be prompted to create their own account using their email and password of choice. You will see whether or not a student has joined your class under the “Status” column on your class roster.

Option 2: Import a class roster using a CSV template - Use our CSV template to add your whole class at once. Enter your students’ first and last names, emails, desired usernames, and desired passwords. Save the CSV and upload it to the Read to Lead platform. Once you’ve uploaded your CSV roster successfully, student accounts will be automatically created and students may sign in with the username and password you’ve created for them.

Option 3: Share a class code or link with your students (your fastest option!) - Using this option, you may copy and share a class code with your students. Students should enter this 6-digit code at the Read to Lead registration page after choosing “I am a Student”.

Option 4: Create student accounts manually - Enter each student’s first and last name and click the “Add Students to Class” button. Our system will automatically generate usernames and passwords for each student. This information will be listed in your class roster.

Google SSO accounts

As a Google SSO user with Read to Lead, you have the option of either creating a manual class or importing a class from Google Classroom.

Creating a Manual Class with a Google SSO account

  1. Click the “New Class” button.

  2. Choose “Create Class Manually”.

  3. Fill out the requested information about your class.

  4. Click the “Create New Class and Invite Students” button.

  5. Choose how you’d like to add your students:

    1. Ask students to sign in using Google Classroom accounts, OR

    2. My students do not have Google accounts

  6. If choosing option a., share the given URL with your students. They will be prompted to sign in via Google and will be automatically enrolled in the class.

  7. If choosing option b., you may choose one of the four options described above to add your students to your class.

Importing a Google Classroom Roster

  1. Click the “New Class” button

  2. Choose “Import Classes from Google”.

  3. Select which Google Classroom classes you would like to import.

  4. Click the “Import” button and wait a moment until your class appears.

  5. Students will automatically be sent an email with a custom link to sign in via Google.

Important note: If students do not have access to their emails, or if outside emails are blocked by your school, please do not use the Google Classroom import option. Instead, click “Create Class Manually” and follow the instructions under Creating a Manual Class with a Google SSO account above.

The “Re-Sync All Classes” button should only be used if students have been added to or removed from your Google Classroom on the Google side. Changes made in Read to Lead will not be reflected in Google Classroom.

Clever SSO accounts

  1. Click the “New Class” button

  2. Choose “Import Classes from Clever”.

  3. Select which Clever classes you would like to import.

  4. Click the “Import” button.

  5. Students should then sign in via the “Sign in with Clever” button at Read to Lead.

Please note: Clever SSO accounts cannot create manual classes.
