Raising Readers Inc. is a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting and empowering our community through helping children become proficient readers. It was founded by a teacher and serves to help fight our reading crisis, one child at a time. Our mission is to make a positive impact and create a better future for all.
How we accomplish this:
- We teach family literacy to parents of preschoolers. Children definitely need to be better prepared and READING READY when they begin school. We do this by giving them research-based literacy products with guidance on how to use them. We offer parent conferences and symposiums on this subject.
- We “Catch the Kinders”. We get children IMMEDIATE help when they FIRST show signs that they are not learning to read. This should be in kindergarten.
- We offer an AFFORDABLE place to help children learn to read. A place that offers certified teachers and language therapists, individualized instruction, and a place that practices research-based, multi-sensory, explicit teaching.
