There are so many misconceptions about reading, and they can keep children from getting the support they need.

The truth is, reading is about so much more than sounding out words or bringing home good grades. Understanding why a child is struggling is the first step toward helping them grow.

That's why we put together these 10 Reading Truths Every Parent Needs to Hear. We hope they encourage, inform, and empower you as you support your child's reading journey.

If you've ever wondered, "Is my child reading where they should be?"—don't guess.

Our Reading Assessment identifies your child's reading level, strengths, skill gaps, and personalized next steps so you know exactly how to support their growth.

It takes a village—and we're grateful for ours.

A huge thank you to Dashna and Nayelli for volunteering at our first Pop-Up Reading Experience. Your time enthusiasm and support of our mission means so much.

We're already looking forward to our next pop up reading experience and continuing to bring the joy of reading to more families.

There's nothing like watching a child begin to believe, "I can do this."

That's why we do what we do.

Every session is another opportunity to build skills, celebrate growth, and turn today's challenges into tomorrow's strengths.

One sound, one word, one page at a time... we're helping young readers grow in confidence.

💙 Set Sail for Success.

Flashback to an amazing day at the Staten Island Alliance for North Shore Children & Families event at the Staten Island Children's Museum! 📚⚓

Cruising Kids had the opportunity to connect with so many wonderful families, share how we support young readers, and talk about practical ways to strengthen literacy at home.

One of the highlights of the day was our Pop-Up Reading Experience, where we read I Am Enough by Grace Byers. The children's excitement, participation, and thoughtful reactions made it such a special moment.

We were also excited to give away over 50 books, helping children grow their home libraries.

We're grateful for every opportunity to be out in the community, meet families, and help more children Set Sail for Success.

A special thank you to Vanessa Vargas Illidge, Early Childhood Collective Impact Manager, for making this incredible day possible. We truly appreciate the opportunity! 💙🧡

As caregivers, we all want the young people in our lives to succeed. But success is about so much more than grades.

Today’s students are navigating friendships, peer pressure, communication challenges, social media, decision-making, and the growing responsibility of preparing for their future. They need the skills to think critically, communicate effectively, set goals, overcome obstacles, and lead themselves well.

That’s why we created The Leader Within.

This 9-session Literacy & Leadership Experience combines reading, writing, discussion, and real-life leadership development using principles from The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens. Students will strengthen their literacy skills while developing habits that can positively impact their academic success, relationships, and everyday lives.

The program is intentionally kept small so that every student has the opportunity to participate, share, reflect, and grow in a supportive environment.

If you’re looking for a meaningful summer experience that helps your child develop both academically and personally, I invite you to register.

⚓ Limited to 5 students per group.

Visit CruisingKids.org for program details and registration.
