Quick Editing for Skill Builders

We know that you want to add, change, and delete problems, sentences, words, etc. from time to time to keep student work accessible yet challenging. We get it! That’s why we offer editing on our interactive platform for most of our Skill Builder lessons. Each of our Skill Builders has its own format (age-appropriate), so let’s break down the process by Skill Builder type.  

First, a time tip (we love this one): If you make a mistake in editing and don’t have the time to fix it or you wish to get the original lesson back – just delete the lesson from your My Lesson library and download it again. Think of this as being similar to tossing a bad copy in the recycling bin and making another one from the clean master. 😉

Check out the Skill Builder type below –  that you’re currently using – and know that you can always return here for tips on the others, too.
