Our Mission

ZipScholar is a non-profit that helps students build stronger reading habits through accessible book lists, literacy tools, and reading resources for families.

Making Reading Easier to Start, and Easier to Continue

ZipScholar’s mission is to help students build stronger reading habits by making books, audiobooks, and literacy resources easier to discover and easier to use.

Many students struggle to read consistently because they do not know where to begin, what kinds of books might interest them, or how to turn reading into a regular habit. ZipScholar helps by connecting students and families with accessible reading resources, student-friendly book lists, audiobook guidance, and practical tools for choosing books.

We believe reading should feel approachable, not overwhelming. A student’s path into reading may begin with a bestseller, a mystery, a biography, a memoir, a fantasy novel, a nonfiction book, or an audiobook. What matters most is helping students find a starting point that fits their interests and encourages them to keep going.

Through our literacy resources, book discovery tools, and free student reading newsletter, ZipScholar supports students, families, and educators who want to make reading more consistent, engaging, and connected to long-term learning.

Our goal is simple: help more students find books they are willing to start, motivated to finish, and encouraged to build on.
