For Parents
& Caregivers
The Children’s Reading Foundation supports parents and caregivers as their child’s first and most influential teacher by offering guidance to develop the skills they need to prepare their child for school.
For Schools
& Communities
With initiatives such as READY! for Kindergarten, The Children’s Reading Foundation supports schools and communities by providing school readiness programs that help children succeed.
Our Mission
The vision of The Children’s Reading Foundation is that every child learns to read early and well, thereby reaching their full potential in school and life. Our goal is that children learn to read at grade level by the end of third grade or by age 8. Our Mission is three fold:
Encourage and educate families
about their important role in raising a reader and preparing their child for kindergarten.
Support schools
in ensuring students read on grade level by the end of third grade.
Facilitate community involvement
in helping young readers be successful.
