Help Make Reading Golden

Raising Readers is our urgent campaign to help children rediscover reading for pleasure.

 

Reading for fun can help children build communication skills, improve academic results, and broaden their worldviews. It’s also tied to their level of happiness and overall well-being.

 

Reading with a child for 10 minutes a day can kick-start a life-changing habit.
