Reading Starts Here!

Founded in 2012, Jump! is dedicated to improving early literacy and instilling a lifelong love of learning in young readers. Our PreK-5 curriculum-aligned children’s books combine vibrant colors, captivating design, high-interest topics, and carefully leveled text to draw readers into the subject and encourage reading success. Whether a child is learning to read or reading to learn, Jump! has the perfect books for your emerging and newly-fluent readers!

Our Mission

Jump! is dedicated to improving literacy and enriching children’s lives. We strive to accomplish this by publishing great content that makes reading fun, inspires curiosity about the world, and ultimately leads to a lifetime of learning.

Children open books in hopes of seeing their own lives, interests, and experiences within the pages. It is this perspective that drives every choice we make when creating our books. Jump! strives for diversity and inclusion, showing people in our books at every age, from all ethnicities, and with varying abilities. In addition, we take great care to avoid showing children and adults in stereotypical gender roles. These efforts help ensure our readers see themselves and others as equal members of our communities.
