Our Partners say…

“BookNook was the perfect solution at the right time! We scrambled to plan for remote learning, and small group instruction was on a back burner. 

We used BookNook in our summer program and can’t wait for everyone to dive in this fall—regardless of our model.”

I enjoyed the structure of the program, the flexibility for teachers to change lessons at their discretion, and for the opportunity for interaction with the students. It had a wide variety of books on many different skill levels and I think it will be helpful to the students as they prepare for virtual learning in the fall.

What I loved most about BookNook is its user-friendly interface for teachers and students. There was no guesswork, as I did not have to worry whether our On-site or Remote Learning Guides time used wisely. The lessons kept both the guides and students engaged.
