Build Stronger Readers Through Family Engagement

Help families make reading a part of daily life. The Reading for Success Kit gives your school ready-to-use tools for literacy nights, back-to-school events, parent-teacher conferences and other family events.

This 90+ page Kit serves elementary grades and works with any reading program. It doesn't teach reading but instead shows families how reading to and with their children at home can support long-term success. The content also supports science of reading principles and reading development through family engagement.
