We’re excited to be part of the California Family Math Initiative and to help families connect learning at school with meaningful experiences at home. 💛

Thank you to PowerMyLearning, Partnership for Los Angeles Schools, the Center for Family Math, and the Grape Street Elementary community for welcoming Raising a Reader into this important work.

We’re proud to support families as they build the everyday habits that help children learn and thrive.

We loved joining Grape Street Elementary families for Meet the Teacher Night and celebrating the launch of the California Family Math Initiative! 💛

Together with Partnership for Los Angeles Schools, Raising a Reader National, and the Center for Family Math, we’re connecting young learners’ math experiences in school and at home. PowerMyLearning’s MathVoice helps students explain their thinking and gives families and teachers a window into how children understand math.

Thank you to the Grape Street community for welcoming us!

September is National Literacy Month! 📚

This month, we’re celebrating the families, educators and partners helping children build a lifelong love of reading—one book at a time.

Classroom instruction matters. So does what happens between school days.

Raising a Reader helps organizations connect the pieces:
📚 Award winning, diverse books
🏠 Family engagement
💬 Meaningful reading and conversation at home
❤️ Positive reading routines that grow over time

If family engagement is part of your literacy strategy this year, we can help you put it into practice. Connect with us today: https://raisingareader.org/contact/

Children build literacy skills in the classroom — but some of the most important practice happens at home.

Raising a Reader helps connect school and home by giving families high-quality books, simple strategies and opportunities to read, talk and learn together.

The result: families become active partners in supporting children’s literacy development.

A strong literacy strategy doesn’t stop at the school door.

When families have the tools, books and confidence to make reading part of everyday life, children have more opportunities to build the skills they’re learning in school.
