There are three ways to add students to your EasyReader Education:

- Register email domain - best if lots of students use their school email address to log in to EasyReader

Add teachers to your EasyReader Education to enable them to manage the young people with additional reading requirements in their class.
When you invite a teacher, they will receive an email with instructions to create a Dolphin Account and join EasyReader Education at your setting.
