Reach Out and Read

Ever notice how kids don't just want to read a book, they want to talk about it, too? 📚

Research continues to show that children are more likely to enjoy reading when they can talk about books with friends, hear stories read aloud, or cuddle up with someone to talk about a favorite character from a book.

The next time your child wants to tell you all about a story they love, take a minute to listen. 💙

Beyond the “Reading Crisis”: How To Build a Nation of Readers How do we solve the reading crisis? We explore how to build a nation of readers, bringing together research and best practice from the classroom and community approaches to reading engagement.

Every child deserves to grow up surrounded by love, support, and a sense of belonging.

This Pride Month, we celebrate LGBTQ+ parents, children, and families. Every child and caregiver deserve to feel safe being exactly who they are and to know they are loved, valued, and supported by the people around them. When they do, they are free to learn, grow, and thrive.

At Reach Out and Read, we're proud to stand with and support families of all kinds. 🌈📚💙

Families are built in many different ways, and every one of them has the power to help a child thrive.

On this Global Day of Parents, we're celebrating the parents, caregivers, grandparents, and loved ones who help children feel safe, seen, and loved. The moments may seem small, but they help build bright futures. 💙
