App Description

Booksy is a learning-to-read platform for young kids. Featured in the New York Times!
THIS IS A SPECIAL SCHOOL EDITION.

It is designed from the ground up to help young children, Pre-K through 2nd grade, practice and develop their reading skills. This edition comes with 27 books.

Booksy is at its heart a library of age appropriate level-readers. But it is so much more. Booksy has amazing features that make learning to read simple and fun. And, it includes powerful tools for teachers to track students' progress.

For schools that purchase their apps via the Volume Purchase Program, this allows you to purchase the content "upfront" and avoid the in-app purchase method and taxes.

Think of it as training wheels for books. It gives kids independence and security while providing help and support.

Watch them glow with pride as they are able to read by themselves, earn stars, awards and trophies while learning about great science topics.
