It is well known that being read to at an early age is advantageous on multiple dimensions to the individual and to society. BookWork aims to foster a love for reading and improve literacy among young children by incentivizing reading led by teenage siblings. Every child deserves the opportunity to develop strong literacy skills through engaging reading experiences.
