Support Us

Read to Them believes that the power of reading aloud together can build connections across families, schools, and communities to cultivate students’ learning and success. Our family literacy programs help lay the foundations for children to forge a positive, long-lasting relationship with reading and learning.

Why Donate

Your donation will help to put books in the hands of children, helping each child in a classroom or school to grow their personal library. When students participate in one of our programs, they are bringing these books home to their families, too. Reading aloud together creates irreplaceable adult-child interactions, stoking a kind of excitement about learning and stories that will last a lifetime. Your donation will help increase the impact in vital areas such as:

Family engagement
Community building
Foundational connections to books and stories

We love promoting the love of reading to our students. Many do not have a rich culture of reading in their homes and One School, One Book helps children to see that everyone can enjoy reading a good book.

“I love the supporting materials that come with the book that allows us to implement the project easily. It is an awesome program that kids look forward to each year!”

Darla LongPrincipal at Burlington Elementary School

“Students, teachers, and staff had new conversations about the book we were all reading. There aren't many times when, outside of the English classroom, everyone can share the same reading experience that leads to discussion and many activities that reach across different subjects taught.”

Brooke SuttleLibrary Media Specialist at Bald Knob Middle School

“Our all school read caused excitement and a huge sense of community around campus. Having not been together for a long time because of Covid, this was a great first event for us that got parents, students, staff and teachers involved and engaged together in a common goal and interest.”
