Bookji's vision is to revolutionize childhood reading enthusiasm and build a future where students are empowered to become passionate and proficient readers. Our goal is that for each student, reading is a fundamental skill, a source of joy and inspiration, and a tool for lifelong learning.
Given this large-scale vision for Bookji, our mission is to empower kids. Reading is the main driving force behind students discovering their passions, thinking critically, and improving their self-efficacy. In a world increasingly veering kids away from books with the expansion of electronic media, we aim to employ these new technologies to make reading the foundation of their educational journey.
Increase Independent Reading
At Bookji, we want to leverage our unique book sharing features to motivate groups of students to read independently and discover books suited to their interests.
Encourage and Facilitate Book Discussions
Using social media-like features to talk about reading, Bookji allows schools and classrooms to participate in book discussions. Bookji also provides educators with analytics to track participation and engagement student by student to ultimately increase reading motivation.
Enhance Accessibility for Diverse Backgrounds
We utilize tools like the interactive book maps we developed to help students from diverse backgrounds discover literature that resonates with themselves and their cultures.
Teach Digital Citizenship
Social media is becoming an increasingly large part of our lives. At Bookji, we want to teach children about digital citizenship and respectful social media practices within an environment that is interactive and safe.
Collaborate with Educators
One of our objectives at Bookji is to work with educators to fine-tune the Bookji reading platform to their school's needs. We want to help make a teacher's job easier.
