Our mission is to collaborate with families, communities, schools, and children to inspire reading.
Families
We believe families can promote literacy at home by engaging with children during reading and incorporating literacy into everyday activities.
Communities
We believe in partnering with community organizations and supporting events that promote positive experiences in language and literacy.
Schools
We believe schools are essential in developing lifelong readers by providing resources both during the school year and over the summer months.
Children
We believe that children should have a wide variety of relevant reading experiences to grow as successful readers.
inspiREading: Literacy
Children are never too young to be inspired by their families, schools, and communities to grow a passion for reading. InspiREading focuses on providing resources that increase literacy engagement and proficiency outcomes for all. Our inspiREading strategy cards highlight five literacy goal areas for parents, caregivers, community organizations, schools, and children to utilize to improve literacy. While we recognize that there is a multitude of literacy skills and knowledge required to become successful readers, we highlight specific strategies for motivation and engagement, phonological awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension.
