Description
Reading is one of the most important skills a child can learn. Reading easily requires family engagement and family engagement at home is one of the most important factors to increasing literacy and academic outcomes.
Homes that a literacy-rich – including books in the home, regular reading between parents and children, and discussions with children – predicts language and literacy gains in the early years and early grades.
We want to make the possible in all households.
Through a network of more than 2,700 locations, Raising A Reader reaches more than 120,000 children and families each year. Since our inception in 1999, we have helped more than one million families build and maintain reading routines in their homes, with special attention to those at highest-risk for educational failure.
