Biblionasium has gone live!
Great news--Biblionasium is finally up and running! All 1st-5th graders were introduced to Biblionasium during yesterday's PLC Day.
Biblionasium is safe, COPPA compliant online community for young readers that promotes a love of reading by allowing students to connect with their classmates to share their favorite books and record their reading progress. Students can add books to their digital bookshelf, recommend books to friends, log their reading, rate and review books, earn virtual awards, and more. Biblionasium allows for easy collaboration between our school librarian, the classroom teacher, and the student’s parents to motivate, measure, and manage each child’s reading. Soon parents will be able to be linked to their child’s Biblionasium account. I will post directions on how to link to your child's account as soon as this feature is updated by the creators of Biblionasium (this update is scheduled for next week). This will allow the parent to track their child’s reading progress, view their child’s reading list and wish list, monitor their child’s independent reading, recommend books to their child, and set up family reading challenges. This will also allow the parent to see the teacher’s reading list.
Each Kilpatrick student has a Biblionasium account that is linked to Destiny, our library’s online catalog. Students can access their Biblionasium account either by logging into Destiny Discover (Destiny can be accessed in the student’s MyKaty cloud https://mykaty.katyisd.org/) or by going directly to the Biblionasium website(www.biblionasium.com) and selecting the “Login with Destiny” option. In both platforms, the student will need his/her Katy ISD username and password to access this account (available from your child’s teacher). This linked account will provide the student with real-time information and access of our library’s resources.
The school librarian, your child's classroom teacher, and (coming soon!) parents can set up Reading Challenges for a student. The student may also set up a personal Reading Challenge for him/herself. Our school librarian will set up Reading Challenges for all participating OKE students throughout the school year. Library-sponsored Reading Challenges will be rewarded with reading tags and various prizes. Your student can view Reading Challenges by logging into their Biblionasium account and selecting the “Challenges” tab.
I will continue to share information about Biblionasium as the program is updated. In the meanwhile, your child is invited to begin getting his/her account set up. As always, Happy Reading!
