What is BOOKZOOMY?
Bookzoomy is an online peer-to-peer reading initiative that organizes after-school reading clubs within schools. With an extensive training curriculum and teacher-approved material, we train older students in K-12 schools and give them the skills necessary to lead a group of younger peers.
About BOOKZOOMY
Our goal
BOOKZOOMY's dual mission is to foster a deep passion for learning in our students and to promote opportunity, equality and empathy for our team.
Our curriculum
Our curriculum is designed to offer the best learning experience to our students. With the help of elementary school english teachers, we handpick our content to make it the most interesting possible. We base our teaching style off of Harvard Graduate School of Education's See, Think, Wonder strategy, and make sure our books are educational, entertaining, and appropriate for your child.
