Parents

Curate Your Child’s Reading List

Launch their reading journey by participating directly in their library experience.

We All Want What’s Best For Our Children

Decisions about your child’s education are made all the time. However, as a parent, you may not always feel that those decisions prioritize your perspective throughout the process.

This is why WiseOwl partners with and empowers parents to take the lead – Unifying Education, One Book At A Time.

Influence Your Child’s Growth

For the first time, technology and education combine to equip parents with access to their child’s school library and, ultimately, their education – without ever having to step foot on campus.

WiseOwl was created by parents, for parents to foster communication between educators, administrators, and families on reading preferences.
