To make reading more exciting with kids today. Our platform aims to remove the negative stigma associated with books for many kids of today’s generation in an engaging and safe way.
Bookji is a social reading platform for middle & high school teachers & students that leverages peer-to-peer interactions, compelling visuals like emojis and GIFs, and interactive world maps to better captivate young readers with books. Bookji will help create an environment and culture where students see themselves, their classmates, friends and teachers as readers.
Educators are the driving force behind Bookji. We'll help each teacher and librarian be better educators by bringing in-depth insights and analytics into each student's reading behavior and helping each educator keep up with, master, and share what's popular in kids' literature today.
Get access to the Bookji sandbox site.
If you are an educator interested in getting your students excited about reading, sign-up to access the Bookji sandbox and quickly see what it's like for a librarian, school administrator, educator or student to use Bookji. You'll get instant access to all of the features of Bookji within a staged environment where you don't need to setup a class, or register students.

We're just starting out but have big plans.
We want to team up with 50 teachers/librarians this winter who share our passion for getting kids excited about reading. If you're interested in Bookji and have created a Sandbox account, we invite you to join our early adopters' program. In exchange for your particaption and feedback, you'll get free access for use in your classrooms for one year.
We'll appreciate your insights and suggestions, and we promise to listen intensely, work tirelessly and build the best kids' reading platform.

My students felt almost famous today giving feedback about @gobookji to Will Peters. Will was asked for an autograph & got some good feedback on his program. We love Bookji! #librarylife #readingisforeveryone pic.twitter.com/9xs6mJkmXa

Hmm. @gobookji has some interesting features. It's sort of like a souped-up reading journal - students can access maps that let them track the locations in their books. And it gives educators a look at kids' reading progress. #njasl21 pic.twitter.com/n0xIFao50E
