Raising a Reader: Build Early Literacy Skills

Raising a Reader is a family-focused literacy program designed to foster a love of reading in toddlers while supporting parents as active partners in their child’s learning journey. Through the use of rotating book bags, families receive a fresh selection of carefully chosen, age-appropriate books each week, encouraging daily reading habits and making storytime a fun, interactive routine.

The program also offers parent engagement workshops that provide practical tips, strategies, and activities to support early literacy development at home. These workshops guide caregivers on how to make reading a meaningful, enjoyable experience, strengthen language skills, and build a foundation for lifelong learning. By combining access to quality books with hands-on guidance for parents, Raising a Reader helps families cultivate strong literacy habits, enhance communication, and nurture a love of stories from the very start.
