# An Overview of the Interactive Digital Student Book

## Digital Student Books include Student Books for Georgia K-2 and Tennessee K-8

**Content** **pages** in the Digital Student Book are designed to match printed Student Books as closely as possible. They have matching page numbers and include digitized versions of the activities in the printed books. Digital Student Books are accessible as a chapter and assignable as a chapter. Teachers must assign chapters for students to digitally complete activities.
