Stock a child’s bookshelf.
Help a child bring home a book that’s truly theirs.

At Reading Partners, every tutoring session ends the same way: a child chooses a book to take home and keep. For some, it’s the first book they’ve ever owned, and they'll have dozens by the end of the year!

A monthly gift stocks books year-round.

What your gift makes possible

When children have books at home, they read more frequently, build stronger vocabulary, and perform better academically. They start to think, “I’m a reader.”

Access is powerful

Take Reading With You. 
After each tutoring session, Reading Partners students choose a book to take home and keep. Each year, we distribute more than 100,000 books to kids.

Through our Take Reading With You program, students:
  - Choose books that match their interests
  - Build personal home libraries
  - Practice reading beyond tutoring sessions

A stocked bookshelf reinforces learning — and accelerates growth.


Why it matters.
When children have books at home, they: read more often, build stronger vocabulary, and perform better in school. Yet in some communities, there is only one age-appropriate book for every 300 children.

Access changes everything.
