See the Reading. Support the Reader.
KRKB helps families understand what readers are doing, where school or library activities fit in, and how to cheer on the next book without learning another complicated app.
Why KRKB?
Choosing books can be tough. KRKB gives readers a place to discover books through other young readers, write thoughtful reviews, take quizzes, and respond to teacher or librarian activities.
When a school or library shares KRKB, families can use take-home instructions and the Parent Portal to understand the program, view linked reader activity, and support a steady reading routine at home.
Safety First
- Clear guidelines: Reader-created work should not include personal information such as addresses, phone numbers, or private contact details.
- Moderation support: Reviews, stories, discussions, and class activity can be reviewed with safety tools before they become visible.
- Follow along: Parent Portal access, take-home letters, and weekly emails help families stay connected when a reader is linked.
Parent Portal and Take-Home Letters
Teachers and librarians can send families a clear way in, while linked parents can check activity without interrupting the reader.
Simple access
Take-home letters explain the class or program, include the reader access path, and tell families where to go if something does not work.
See what's new
See recent reviews, quizzes, stories, account controls, library preferences, and short activity summaries when your reader is connected.
Better questions
Weekly notes and activity summaries make it easier to ask something better than “what did you read today?”
Borrow through your library
Link a preferred reading app so book pages can route readers toward library search results instead of another purchase.
Setup in Parent PortalDigital Library Integration
KRKB helps readers move from discovery to access by connecting book pages to common library platforms like Libby, Sora, and Hoopla.
By selecting a preferred reading app, eligible book pages can show a "Get this Book" path that searches your public library or school district collection.
Your library card details remain entirely private. KRKB only uses public book titles to route you to your library's search page.
How You Can Help
Ask better questions
Ask what made a book worth recommending, what surprised them, or what they would ask the author next.
Try 10 minutes
Have your reader open KRKB, show a current activity, and save progress on a review, quiz, or story draft.
Stay connected
Use the Parent Portal when linked, and ask the teacher or librarian for instructions if your reader is part of a class or program.
