Worldreader is a global non-profit working towards children's literacy with a special focus on kids ages three through twelve. They have recognized that the reading crisis is threatening our future, but they've come up with a solution by turning the age of screens into the age of reading with their BookSmart app for all of your digital devices.
When children read regularly, they grow up to be better educated adults with higher earning potential and stronger emotional intelligence. The future is bright when we get children reading.
BookSmart, powered by Worldreader, follows the data to help parents ready their children for the future through reading in the following areas:
Education:
When a child reads, they start school ready to learn and are more likely to succeed in school.
Earning Potential:
When a child reads and develops digital literacy skills, they become employable adults, vital to the economy.
Emotional Intelligence:
When a child reads, they develop essential cognitive and social skills like empathy, which supports positive social change.
