BookSmart is powered by Worldreader and our partners who share our commitment to getting families reading together, no matter the distance. We are proud to share our latest initiative with Edovo, "Books as Bridges for Parenting While Incarcerated," a new Worldreader & Edovo course that uses reading, early childhood science, and simple everyday strategies to help families stay connected and emotionally present, no matter the barriers.
What if a bedtime story could travel through prison walls?
A new Edovo + Worldreader course, Books as Bridges for Parenting While Incarcerated, helps parents stay emotionally present with their children through shared books, brain-building science, and simple routines that strengthen family bonds even across distances.
