Parents

If WiseOwl is implemented at my child’s school, what is my role?
Parents have no obligation to use WiseOwl. Each parent can choose how active of a role they’d like to have in their child’s reading journey. WiseOwl is a collaborative, intuitive platform for parents to express individual reading preferences.
Does WiseOwl add or remove books in a school library?
WiseOwl is a communication platform to indicate to the educator your reading preferences for your child. This desktop or mobile-friendly tool helps to enhance your child’s reading journey with features like reading suggestions, timely notifications, shared reading lists, and more.
What is WiseOwl’s view on a parent’s role in their child’s reading journey?
WiseOwl supports a parent’s right to make choices for their child’s education.

Educators

What is my involvement as an educator in implementing WiseOwl?
WiseOwl is another tool to better collaborate with parents in advancing educational growth. Educators can add suggested reading lists and recommendations for parents to explore within minutes. These lists can be connected to the school’s library catalog and external retailers (i.e. Amazon).
What does the parent-educator collaboration component look like?
We’ve heard from both parents and educators about the need for better collaboration. Educators submit reading lists and recommendations. Parents can then open a non-confrontational dialogue with their child’s educator about the book material and alternatives if necessary. Additionally, parents can partner with educators for reading resources if their child is struggling in a certain area (i.e. learning engagement, divorce in the family, etc.). This collaboration component positions parents and educators as partners – with the same goal of supporting the child’s reading journey.
Does WiseOwl integrate into existing library systems?
WiseOwl uses APIs to integrate directly into existing library systems, making it capable of logging the entire library catalog so that parents can explore and update reading preferences.
Is WiseOwl an application I must download?
No. WiseOwl is a desktop and mobile-friendly website that makes it easy for parents and educators to cultivate student reading lists.
