Make Way for Books

Early literacy isn’t just an individual issue — it affects whole communities, influencing education, jobs and health. Research shows that when children are read to, talked to and sung to from a young age, they build stronger vocabularies, become better readers and do better in school. Make Way for Books partners with parents, caregivers and educators, building on the strengths they already have to make the most of everyday learning moments. When we invest in early literacy, we help children thrive and communities grow stronger.
