Growing Readers
Few things are more powerful than a caring adult sharing a book with a child. Families who combine access to the right books with a trusted routine of shared reading set their young children on a natural path to literacy, school readiness, and lifelong learning.
Growing Communities
Unite for Literacy uses cutting-edge digital mapping technologies to make the conditions of household book ownership and reading habits visible and actionable for stakeholders. Our planning tools help communities focus on innovative solutions and evaluate progress as they build capacity to grow a community of lifelong learners.
Read. Create. Share.
The R.C.S. Cycle is the sustaining mechanism that helps communities build home libraries, produce locally relevant books, and share a productive culture of literacy.
Book Gardens in Bloom
Unite for Literacy has partnered with schools, tribes, nonprofits, and businesses over the last decade to re-imagine the roots of literacy education and revitalize family reading habits. As a result, Book Gardens are sprouting up in communities large and small across North America.
