ARC Bookshelf vs Destiny Discover

This easy-to-use app gives children the ability to read books from American Reading at Home, the award-winning, school-based program that has been teacher-vetted, parent-approved, and kid-tested in thousands of schools and homes across America. PLEASE NOTE: Requires an American Reading at Home account (for individuals) or SchoolPace subscription (for schools). Our books are specially designed for children learning to read at the Kindergarten and first-grade reading levels. The books work just like training wheels on a bicycle. A child will gain confidence by using books at the “just right” level of challenge; as he/she develops new skills, the “training wheels” are gradually removed. Because so much of the reading support is provided by the actual books, children can do much of the learning on their own. This provides the child with tremendous confidence and a sense of ownership of their own learning. It also makes learning to read fun and enjoyable!

The Follett Destiny Discover® app is your personalized gateway to all of the great content provided by your school’s library. Whether you are a student or teacher looking for leisure reading/entertainment, or materials to support homework or lesson planning, the Destiny Discover app is for you! • Easily find and login to your school library’s catalog of materials. • Search for Follett eBooks provided by your school library. • Read eBooks while you’re online, or download them to your device when you check them out for offline access. • Search for print materials like books in your school library. Please note: your district or school needs appropriate licensing for Destiny® Library Manager (version 18.0 or later) to use this app. When using the Destiny Discover app your server needs to setup to communicate over SSL. If you are hosted with Follett do not worry, we handle this for you. If not and you cannot connect to your school, please contact your librarian, and have them work with the district to change the setting.
