About the Project
The goal of this tool is to support K-12 teachers in improving the cultural and demographic inclusivity of their classroom reading lists. Teachers input their reading lists using data from the Google Books API, complete a guided self-evaluation, and receive a set of suggested readings based on results and class demographics. We hope this tool will encourage teachers to provide students with engaging and inclusive reading material that better represents them.

Main Features
Impact
In US Education, there is a lack of cultural and demographic inclusivity in reading lists for classes. Almost Fun helps to mitigate this issue by providing metrics of inclusivity in reading materials, as well as results and recommendations for teachers to use in their own classrooms.
