Bureau of Indian Education
Partnering with the Bureau of Indian Education and the Families and Child Education (FACE), Unite for Literacy serves Native American communities across the U.S.
The FACE Growing Readers (FGR) program has delivered more than 500,000 relevant books to almost 7,000 Native American families. Many of the families reported having few books in the home prior to enrollment in FGR.
Unite for Literacy is working with the First One Hundred Institute to develop and distribute picture books that celebrate the daily lives, traditions, and languages of Native American families. The digital versions of the books are narrated in a growing number of Indigenous languages.
