If you are on the “Create Your Account” page, review the form on the right-hand side of the page. If you are on the “Log In to Your Account” page, follow the “Create Your Account” link on the lower right-hand side of the page.

To create a new account, you will need a Bridges access key. The access key is provided through the email from ScottishRiteDyslexia.com to your school or organization administrator, or through your order email confirmation message if you are the purchaser.

If your Bridges license is affiliated with a school district or other organization, enter your organization email account, and select the “School District/Organization” option. If you are an individual with your own Bridges license, enter the email you use for business or professional correspondence, then select the “Individual” option.

For school and organization users, the email address you provide must match the domain of the account used to purchase your access key. For instance, if your access key was purchased by [email protected], you should use your “@schoolname.org” email address.

Once you have provided your email address, enter the access key. For security reasons, each account must have its own access key. The same access key cannot be used to create more than one account.

Create the password for your new account. Your password must be at least eight characters long, and contain at least one number, one capital letter, one lowercase letter, and a special character, e.g., ! @ # $ % ^ &.

Once you have created a suitable password, you can move on by pressing the “Continue to License Agreement” button.

Next, you will be prompted to review the License Agreement. Please review this section carefully. To finish creating your user account, you must accept the terms provided in this agreement.

After you accept the license agreement, you will receive a confirmation email from ScottishRiteDyslexia.com to finish creating your user account. Find the email in your inbox, then follow the enclosed link to confirm, or check your junk folder if you cannot locate it. From now on, you can access your account from the login page using your email address, and the password that you created.

Displaying Ms. Hallie / Configuring the Smart Board:

Your classroom configuration should have Bridges run parallel to any interactive Smart Board components.

Because Ms. Hallie is not compatible with running on a Smart Board's internal computer system, you will need to access her via a separate laptop or desktop computer. Then, through a connected HDMI cable, she can be displayed on a Smart Board or other monitor.

An ideal Bridges web apllication configuration.

Closing unnecessary browser tabs:

Please be advised: when using ScottishRiteDyslexia.com, keep only one tab open with Ms. Hallie in the Chrome browser. Running multiple tabs may impact your device's performance.
