Early Literacy: Building strong brains and bright futures, one word at a time.
Big Growth Starts with Little Words
Our early literacy initiatives support families in all the places learning happens—at home, out in the community, and everywhere in between. Whether you’re looking for ideas, encouragement, or books to build your home library, we’re here to help you raise a confident, curious reader.
Our Initiatives-
Sing. Say. Point. Play.
These four simple actions help babies learn to talk and young children learn to read. We work with families and caregivers to build these habits into everyday routines—turning small moments into big opportunities for learning.
Literacy Ambassadors
Community volunteers help foster literacy skills in their communities by creating welcoming reading corners in waiting rooms and sharing free resources with families. Our Literacy Ambassadors help surround children with stories, language, and encouragement—making early learning part of everyday life, wherever families go.
Book Distribution
We provide books to trusted community partners—like libraries, home visiting programs, and family centers—so children can access age-appropriate stories wherever they are. These books help spark imagination, support language development, and ensure that every child has the chance to build early literacy skills from the start.
Birth to Three Essentials
From birth to age three, children begin learning about language and communication long before they can read. By playing, babbling, listening to stories, and spending time with you, they’re building the early brain connections that make reading possible. These everyday moments matter—they’re the foundation for future learning and lifelong literacy.
