Bookworm Central - Reading Literacy Programs

What is BookChoice?

BookChoice is an online platform that is designed to address equity concerns and provide free-choice books and reading materials for all children.

Bookworm Central’s online literacy-supporting portal enables schools to have a simple-to-coordinate turn-key solution to provide all students books of choice in their homes.

The aim of this program is to facilitate equitable access to books so all students have home libraries filled with their favorite books and remain inspired to continue reading and learning.

Why Invest in BookChoice?

Student Choice

Provides students with free-choice resources so they may have a vested interest in reading and making that reader/book connection.

Equitable Access

Provides children with access to favorite books and their own home library, regardless of family finances.

Easy to Use Platform

Gives school divisions an online platform to directly invest in keeping students motivated to read and learn for both entertainment and academic purposes.

Encourages Reading

Supports teachers and parents in encouraging regular reading practices.

Benefits of Having Student Choice

Choosing their own books makes reading more enjoyable, enticing children to learn independently outside of the classroom.

Students develop a sense of ownership and responsibility, increasing their motivation to read and care for their books.

Expanding student access to books of choice improves their overall vocabulary skills and verbal fluency.

Students who select their own books read more often, and are likely to do better in academic tests.
