Read Aloud 15 Minutes

15 minutes of reading aloud each day can change the face of education in this country. Learn more about this National Campaign.

Reading aloud is the single most important thing a parent or caregiver can do to help a child prepare for reading and learning.
Nationally, 37% of children arrive in kindergarten without the skills necessary to begin their learning journey.
If a child is not reading at grade level by the end of the first grade, then there is an 88% probability the child will not be reading at grade level by the end of the fourth grade.
Even in higher income households, nearly 40% of families do not read aloud every day.
More than half the children in this country 13 million children will not hear a bedtime story tonight.
