Children and youth benefit from a library of thousands of high-quality, culturally relevant books that inspire and educate.
Trainings for schools, libraries, and families ensure that readers get the most out of reading programs.
Whether it’s through e-readers, tablets, or mobile phones, readers benefit from a digital library on affordable, state-of-the-art devices.
The BookSmart reading solution brings the power and joy of reading to schools, educational programs, and homes.
BookSmart for schools includes a subscription to 150+ culturally relevant, curricularly aligned books. Running on full-color Android tablets, students will be engaged with content that supports lesson plans across a variety of subjects. But the learning doesn’t stop there. BookSmart for home gives parents and caregivers access to a library from their mobile phones, so they can support children’s learning outside of school.
Everyone in the world deserves the power, opportunity, and joy that reading brings.
