Raising A Reader
Raising A Reader is a national organization with a mission to engage caregivers in a routine of book-sharing with very young children starting at birth. Book-sharing fosters brain development, relationships, a love of reading, and literacy skills that are critical for school success.
Reading Ready Pittsburgh connects with interested local childcare programs.
Red book bags are rotated weekly into children’s homes exposing children to over 100 award-winning books per rotation cycle.
Book bag rotation is paired with parent training and information on how to effectively share books to promote children’s early literacy skills and love of learning.
Families are connected with their local public library and children receive a blue library book bag at the end of the program so children can continue the practice of borrowing books, building a lifelong habit of reading.
