Raising a Reader Starts Children Early

Raising A Reader is a national nonprofit organization that offers an evidence-based early-literacy and parent-engagement program and currently serves 110,000 children through its 2,500 affiliate sites across the country. During the program, each child is exposed to approximately 100 books per year, and parents and caregivers are trained in interactive read-aloud strategies. This training helps parents and caregivers learn how to engage their child by sharing a book and we were excited to learn of the recent news coverage it has received, including this piece from American Libraries here.
