[Using the Hoot Reading App](https://www.hootreading.com/support-hub/families?hsLang=en#using-the-hoot-reading-app) # Navigating the Hoot App The Hoot Reading app is designed to be simple and easy for families to use. Once you’re logged in, everything your child needs for lessons - schedule, library access, and lesson entry - is available in one place. This article walks through the main areas of the app so you know where to go and what to expect. ### Logging In and Choosing a Profile After logging in, you’ll see the profile selection page. From here, select your child’s profile to access their lesson. Each child has their own profile, schedule, and library. ![](https://www.hootreading.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Jan-26-2026-06-36-21-5818-PM.png?width=670&height=374&name=image-png-Jan-26-2026-06-36-21-5818-PM.png)   Once you’re inside your child’s profile, you’ll be taken to their Hoot Library and lesson area. ![](https://www.hootreading.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Jan-26-2026-06-37-23-1374-PM.png?width=670&height=375&name=image-png-Jan-26-2026-06-37-23-1374-PM.png)   ### Finding and Joining Lessons Upcoming lessons appear automatically in your child’s profile. - The **Join Lesson** button becomes available about 10 minutes before the lesson start time - Clicking **Join Lesson** opens a short setup screen to check audio and video before entering the lesson - If your child joins before the teacher, they’ll see a book they can explore while waiting [![demo gif](https://app-pages.storylane.io/company/company_9a93e2b7-61a5-4b58-9143-158a71307e98/project/project_a85be84d-1568-4c26-b5fc-8fb0d14068e1/preview.gif)](https://app.storylane.io/share/4ytb5gpr8cza?email=) ### Viewing Your Child’s Schedule You can view upcoming and past lessons from your parent dashboard. - Open the menu and select **Schedule** This is where you’ll find lesson dates, times, and any updates to your child’s schedule. [![demo gif](https://app-pages.storylane.io/company/company_9a93e2b7-61a5-4b58-9143-158a71307e98/project/project_ed7f62d5-79c5-475d-9c7f-2568ce6d7e9b/preview.gif)](https://app.storylane.io/share/immnhsvqvegr?email=)   ### Using the Hoot Library The Hoot Library is where your child can explore books outside of lessons. From the library, your child can: - Browse fiction and nonfiction books - Read independently between lessons - Revisit books they’ve already explored The library is designed to support reading practice at home and help children build confidence with books.

Fullscreen mode should automatically toggle when you initially join a lesson. You can also enter full screen mode by clicking the icon in the top fight of the student lesson page.  ![](https://www.hootreading.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Jan-26-2026-06-59-56-7869-PM.png?width=150&height=147&name=image-png-Jan-26-2026-06-59-56-7869-PM.png) Full screen mode helps: - Reduce distractions   - Make text and lesson materials easier to see   - Improve focus during reading activities   - [Families](https://www.hootreading.com/support-hub/families?hsLang=en#main-content) - [About Hoot Reading](https://www.hootreading.com/support-hub/families?hsLang=en#about-hoot-reading) - [Registration & Account Setup](https://www.hootreading.com/support-hub/families?hsLang=en#registration-account-setup) - [Using the Hoot Reading App](https://www.hootreading.com/support-hub/families?hsLang=en#using-the-hoot-reading-app) - [Lessons, Scheduling & Attendance](https://www.hootreading.com/support-hub/families?hsLang=en#lessons-scheduling-attendance) - [Plans, Billing & Subscriptions](https://www.hootreading.com/support-hub/families?hsLang=en#plans-billing-subscriptions) - [How Hoot Reading Works](https://www.hootreading.com/support-hub/families?hsLang=en#how-hoot-reading-works) - [Hoot Pre-Word Reading Units](https://www.hootreading.com/support-hub/families?hsLang=en#hoot-pre-word-reading-units) - [Hoot Early Word Reading Units](https://www.hootreading.com/support-hub/families?hsLang=en#hoot-early-word-reading-units) - [Hoot Complex Word Reading Units](https://www.hootreading.com/support-hub/families?hsLang=en#hoot-complex-word-reading-units) - [Hoot Text Reading Units](https://www.hootreading.com/support-hub/families?hsLang=en#hoot-text-reading-units) - [Teachers](https://www.hootreading.com/support-hub/teachers?hsLang=en#main-content) - [About Hoot](https://www.hootreading.com/support-hub/teachers?hsLang=en#about-hoot) - [Troubleshooting the App](https://www.hootreading.com/support-hub/teachers?hsLang=en#troubleshooting-the-app) - [Hoot Policies](https://www.hootreading.com/support-hub/hoot-policies?hsLang=en#main-content) - [User Policies](https://www.hootreading.com/support-hub/hoot-policies?hsLang=en#user-policies) [![logo-black-no-padding](https://www.hootreading.com/hs-fs/hubfs/logo-black-no-padding.png?width=100&height=83&name=logo-black-no-padding.png "logo-black-no-padding")](https://www.hootreading.com/?hsLang=en) www.hootreading.com Help Center Copyright © 2025, Hoot Reading Inc.
