Raising A Reader is a brand that supports families in building, practicing, and growing reading routines at home. With a strong emphasis on family engagement, their award-winning and evidence-based programs help caring adults set their children up for success by creating shared reading routines. These programs not only foster social-emotional learning and healthy family relationships but also develop the necessary learning skills for children to thrive in school and beyond.

Raising A Reader works through local agencies to provide family engagement and early literacy programming directly to families. Their approach involves three steps: building equity-focused shared reading programs and curated book collections based on local needs, practicing social-emotional learning through healthy relationships and learning in the home, and growing shared reading and learning routines that cultivate a love for reading. With a network of almost 300 affiliate organizations, Raising A Reader currently serves nearly 200,000 children and families in 34 states every year
