Using Canvas with Fathom Reads

Overview

If your school district uses Canvas, you can easily integrate Canvas with the Fathom Reads platform. After syncing your Canvas and Fathom Reads accounts, you will be able to easily import user information for teachers and students, as well as class rosters. It is important that you begin the integration process at least two weeks before teachers and students need access to Fathom Reads.
