We are working to map all the words in popular kids books to the phonics skills needed to read each word.
To do that, we need to scan A LOT of books!
We use these scans to map the words in the book to the phonics skills needed to read those words so kids are reading books they will already have the skills to read (rather than seeing a bunch of words they aren't able to decode and getting frustrated).
WHAT'S INVOLVED?
All you need to do is go to your local library and pick out some books and look up their barcode on our website, and if we haven't scanned it yet, you simply use Google Drive on your phone to scan the books. That's it! It gets shared with us and we take it from there.
It is an easy way to make a HUGE difference!
