For many children, summer brings a break from school—but it can also mean fewer opportunities to read. Without regular access to books and reading routines, literacy skills can stagnate or decline over the holiday months.

That's why BookSmart is designed to keep families reading all year long. With free digital books, engaging reading challenges, and tools that encourage parents and caregivers to read with their children, BookSmart helps turn everyday moments into opportunities for learning.

This July, we're inviting families to join our Reading Challenge and build reading habits that last well beyond the summer. Small, consistent moments with books can make a meaningful difference.

Together with our partners, we're helping ensure that every child has the opportunity to keep reading, learning, and growing.

We’re proud to announce that BookSmart is now available in the My OneApp in Kenya.

This new integration builds on our partnership with M-PESA and is another step toward making reading more accessible for families and children across Kenya.

By integrating BookSmart within the everyday apps and tools people already use, we’re helping users discover and engage with stories faster and more seamlessly. Access matters — and meeting families where they are digitally is an important part of expanding literacy opportunities at scale.

We’re proud to continue working with partners who are helping make reading more accessible, convenient, and connected to everyday life.

Summer is the perfect time to build early literacy skills.

For preschool-aged children, reading isn't just about learning words—it's about developing vocabulary, language skills, listening comprehension, and a love of learning that will support future success in school.

That's why our flagship product, BookSmart, is so effective. Designed to support early literacy and meaningful caregiver-child connections, BookSmart makes it easy to access engaging reading experiences anytime, anywhere. By making reading a natural part of everyday life, BookSmart helps families keep learning going all summer long.

Just a few minutes of reading together each day can make a lasting difference.
