Setting up Accessible Reading Canada and linking CELA account

Linking CELA account to Accessible Reading Canada skill

 

To access books using the Accessible Reading Canada skill, you need to link your CELA account.

  1. Launch the Accessible Reading Canada skill by saying "Alexa, launch Accessible Reading Canada" The smart speaker starts talking about the skill and explains you have to now link your CELA account. You can choose to start the linking process or ask for more detailed instructions.
  2. Once you start linking the account, Alexa will send a notification to your Alexa app on your smart device that you will have to activate. You may also go to the More tab, then Skills and Games. Then select Your Skills. This method may work if you do not receive the notification on the home screen. A third option is to visit the Amazon Alexa skill store, sign in, and search for Accessible Reading Canada. You can link the account on the website.
  3. After activating the notification in the Alexa app, a log in page for CELA will open and you will be asked for your CELA account username and password. Enter them and press "Log in".
  4. You are now ready to start using the skill. You will again be reminded of the phrase to use, and you can now close this page.
