Meet the Reading So Lit Characters: Inspiring Young Readers Everywhere
At Barbershop Books, we believe every child should see themselves in the stories they read. That’s why our Reading So Lit® platform introduces Darius, Mateo, April, and Yen—diverse and relatable characters who make reading a fun, meaningful, and personal experience for PK-5 learners. This innovative platform goes beyond traditional reading programs, helping kids discover their unique preferences and develop a reading identity that turns literacy into a source of joy and empowerment. Let’s meet the characters who bring this journey to life!
