Enrolling in Top 10 Tools

The Reading Teacher’s Top 10 Tools (T10T) is hosted on the learning management system (LMS) Strut Learning.  When you purchase a license for T10T, one of our team members must manually enroll you in the Strut LMS; this process could take between 24 and 48 hours to process.  If you register for T10T during a Saturday or Sunday CST, the enrollment process will begin on the following Monday.

By accessing and using T10T via the Strut Learning platform, you agree to comply with the following terms:

• Your license to use T10T is personal to you, and this license is not transferable to any other person or entity.

Noncompliance with these terms of use will result in a termination of your service.

Receiving a Certificate of Completion

To receive a certificate of completion:
