Literacy opens doors for kids. As they grow up, it gives them access to higher education, job opportunities and greater self-confidence, which directly benefits their communities.
By exploring other worlds and ideas through stories, kids can see themselves reflected and imagine the possibilities for their own futures.
With your help, we can connect entire families to the knowledge, skills and support they need to detach from cycles of low literacy that fuel poverty and keep quality education out of reach.
We can also equip educators, community service providers and government leaders with tools and knowledge to help close the reading achievement gap so all kids can reach their full potential.
SUPPORTER RECOGNITION
We’re PASSIONATE about LITERACY
Many adults who didn’t have access to quality education growing up find themselves stuck. With early intervention, we can change the trajectory of kids’ futures and uplift entire communities. Together with our partners, sponsors, parents, volunteers and families, we can start kids off with a solid foundation.
It STARTS with FAMILIES
Parents and caregivers have a crucial role to play in shaping their childrens’ attitudes towards reading and writing, but not all families have access to the tools, knowledge and skills to support literacy at home. Since 2011, our evidence-informed programs have enriched the lives of thousands of kids and their families through interactive play-based initiatives, book clubs, author incubators and free books that help make reading and writing a part of kids’ everyday lives.
The RESEARCH SPEAKS for ITSELF
Every year we evaluate the success of our initiatives. We dig deep into feedback from participants, adjusting our programs as needed to ensure their needs are being met. In order to have the biggest impact we need to have the best evidence, and measuring the success of our programs is top of mind for us, always.
