BookNook is a hybrid education technology platform that is reinventing the where, how, and who of one-on-one and small group learning for children. We weave together custom texts with a structured curriculum and engaging educational games and put it in the hands of teachers, families, volunteers, paraprofessionals, and community members, massively expanding students’ access to powerful personalized learning.
We are a social enterprise with a particular focus on supporting children in traditionally disenfranchised communities. Our mission is to support individualized, person-to-person learning for children at home, at school, and in the community. We are committed to providing highly scalable tools with a strong basis in research. We also believe that education technology is at its best when it supports highly engaged face-to-face learning.
