About
Read to Them® is a 501 C (3) non-profit organization promoting family literacy.
Our mission is to create a culture of literacy in every home.
We do this by helping schools implement our One School, One Book® and One District, One Book® programs. Our programs encourage and enable reading together at home by providing every school with tools, resources, guidance, and support.
Read to Them educates families and schools on the benefits and importance of reading aloud at home. A growing body of research describes the complex and permanent effects of reading aloud. Children who are read to learn to read more easily and become better readers. Literacy skills provide the basis for a lifetime of learning and productivity.
To further discover why we do what we do, check out the video of our story – How We Built Read to Them, One Book at a Time.
