This creates a link to your full reading list. 

Next, open up your list by clicking the link you just created probably called "Course Resources". Choose the Section or Item to which you want to link. Click the Share icon and click Copy link for CANVAS.

 

Go back to the Module in Canvas and edit the item. Replace the URL with the copied URL. This will create a direct link in the Canvas Module to the item or section of your reading list.
