Raising a Reader Massachusetts is an early literacy family engagement organization based in Boston. With over 30 years of research and 39 independent evaluations, they work to close the literacy opportunity gap by helping families develop high impact home reading routines. Their evidence-backed dual intervention solution includes a signature Red Book Bag rotation program, where each child brings home a different bag of books each week, and parent educational workshops that focus on interactive reading strategies. Through their programs, they aim to empower parents to be their child's first teacher and create a joyful and rewarding reading routine for all families, impacting success in school and beyond.
Raising a Reader Massachusetts partners with centers of early education and other community-based organizations to implement their model. Their mission is to close the literacy opportunity gap among children ages birth to age six in under-resourced communities. By equipping parents with the tools and resources to be actively involved in their child's education, they strive to make a positive impact on academic success. Through their programs, they aim to increase the use of reading strategies, improve reading frequency, and ultimately help children develop a strong foundation in literacy.
