Choose the unit and list that has your readings
Under the Reading List drop down menu is the list of Readings that have been used in the past - choose which list has the readings you wish to use for your next teaching period:
NB: If you have a different unit with the same readings you want, you can transfer the readings from that unit.
ie: We are putting Readings into Unit AAA1111. Unit BBB2222 has all the same readings that you want so at this point, we can choose Unit BBB2222 and put those readings into Unit AAA1111.
