Raising A Reader's mission is to engage parents in a routine of daily "book cuddling" with their children aged 0-8 to foster healthy brain development, parent-child bonding and the literacy skills critical for school success.
Raising A Reader is a national program proven to build literacy through family engagement.
Raising A Reader is an evidence-based program which helps families of children aged 0-8 to develop, practice, and maintain literacy habits shown to be critical for academic success. Each week bright red bags filled with award winning books rotate into children's homes, on average exposing each child to more than 100 books per rotation cycle. Raising A Reader pairs this rotation with parent training and connections to the local library to continue the literacy habits they have developed. Raising A Reader partners with a wide range of service agencies and can be adapted with fidelity to meet the needs of diverse families and communities. More than thirty independent studies confirm Raising A Reader's capacity to improve family engagement and literacy.
