We help librarians and educators build and deploy flexible and engaging reading programs in minutes.
We make it ultra-convenient for readers and families to join and participate with reading programs.
We make it easy to view and analyze reading data so everyone can participate in building a culture of reading.
Reader Zone helps schools and libraries host amazing reading programs using the three principles that drive success:  Engage, Adapt and Report. There is no limit to the size and type of organization that use the service.
Reader Zone was founded by Jake Ball. Jake and his wife have 4 children in Idaho schools. Jake has filled out dozens of reading calendars, all the while knowing that technology offers a more reliable and user-friendly way to collect reading data.
Jake's goal is to build cultures of reading in families, schools and library communities.
Everyone involved with Reader Zone is hyper-focused on making a product that adds real value to educators and families. We hope to save several forests of trees along the way by eliminating the outdated paper reading calendar.
Feedback regarding how the system works and how we can make it better is welcome. Please email us your feedback and suggestions!
