For schools / Principal brief

A proposal you can discuss together

Start with one shared reading goal.

Bring your team together around a reading program, a simple launch plan, and goals you can follow.

Plan your pilot

The purpose

Make participation visible across your program.

Reader Zone brings reading entries, goals, family participation, and staff reporting together. A school can organize one shared challenge or give grades and classrooms their own Groups.

Suggested pilot

Start small. Build momentum.

  1. Choose the audience and goal.

    Choose a class, grade, or school community. Set a timeframe, pick a reading goal, and name your program lead.

  2. Try the staff and family routine.

    Build a sample Program, assign staff access, and test joining and logging. Families can manage multiple Readers through the app or web; staff can enter reading for students who need another option.

    Trial Edition allows up to 10 Readers with no preset time limit. Choose a paid plan when you’re ready for more readers.

  3. Review before expanding.

    Celebrate participation, gather feedback from teachers and families, and decide what to build on as you invite more classrooms.
