What is a BoomBassador?
A BoomBassador is a trusted student chosen by the school to support reading across the classroom or wider school community.
Once assigned, BoomBassadors can:
Listen to other pupils read
Log reading sessions directly into BoomReader
Support younger or less confident readers
Take an active role in promoting reading
This creates meaningful opportunities for pupils to support one another — while teachers retain full visibility and control.
Built-In Motivation Through Rewards
BoomBassadors don’t just help others — they’re rewarded for it too. The BoomBassador system includes unlockable reading badges, which are earned as students log more reading sessions. These rewards help keep pupils motivated and proud of their contribution, reinforcing positive reading habits.
Clear Oversight for Teachers
BoomBassadors are designed to support teachers, not replace oversight. If you have a BoomBassador in your class, you can:
View a week-by-week overview of their reading activity
See a class leaderboard, showing which BoomBassador is logging the most reading
Track all BoomBassador activity directly in the class activity feed
This ensures complete transparency while reducing the need for teachers to log every session themselves.

Easy Setup for School Admins
Assigning BoomBassadors is quick and simple for school admins. Admins can:
Manage BoomBassadors directly from the BoomReader settings
View all current BoomBassadors in the school
Add new BoomBassadors by browsing classes or searching for a student by name
Once added, students instantly gain access to their BoomBassador tools.

How BoomBassadors Work for Students
Students chosen as BoomBassadors will see a BoomBassador badge on their dashboard. From there, they can:
Search for a student in the school
Select one of the books that student is currently reading
Listen to them read
Log the session into BoomReader on the teacher’s behalf
It’s simple, empowering, and designed with safeguarding and visibility in mind.

Why Schools Love BoomBassadors
BoomBassadors is perfect for schools looking to:
Promote peer-to-peer reading
Build leadership and responsibility in pupils
Support younger readers
Reduce teacher workload without losing insight
Strengthen whole-school reading culture
Unlocking Reading Data for Schools
One of the most significant advantages of using BoomBassadors is the ability to unlock reading data for schools that they have never been able to access before. This data can help educators understand reading trends and tailor their teaching methods accordingly. By leveraging this information, schools can enhance their reading programs and provide targeted support to students who need it most.
