Mission Statement
Promoting family literacy community initiatives that get families reading together, one school community at a time.
About This Cause
Read to Them is a family literacy nonprofit community partner. We work with school communities throughout the United States offering programs that get families reading together. Home literacy is an essential component of every child's foundational development and gives opportunity for every parent and caregiver to be a child's first and most important "teacher". Using our One School, One Book and One District, One Book programs, school communities engage parents with a systematic and simple family reading initiative. Families read children's chapter books together at home over the course of several weeks. During this community reading event everyone gets on the same page - that is, everyone reads the same chapter of the same book each night. This unifying reading program introduces fun and reinforcing classroom activities that are paired with home literacy participation. Children experience reading in a whole new way as parents take time to share a story each night. In school the children experience the story in a different way and come to see that reading and literacy based activities are not simply relegated to the classroom but actually have a pervasive and functional place in everyday life. This approach to family literacy, encompassing both classroom and home engagement, is a proven way to help children become life-long readers. It has been demonstrated that school performance remains low in communities where family literacy initiatives are absent. Our mission is to create a community of readers in every community in the United States using this fun and effective approach!
