Ready, Set, Read! is a program that helps parents read to their pre-school age children. This reinforces the importance of the parents’ role in their children’s future success. As we make every endeavor to provide the tools parents need to put these ideas into daily practice in their homes, our future generations become better prepared to fulfill their educational potential and become leaders in their own right.

Throughout many of his messages to America, President Barack Obama has spoken decisively about a topic that is fundamental to our children and the success of future generations: education in the home environment and parent involvement.

As multiple research studies and anecdotal evidence have proven several times over, when young children read more at home and receive more educational involvement from their parents, they become better equipped for school and are much more likely to succeed in life.

President Obama has said, “Responsibility for our children’s success doesn’t start in Washington - it starts in our homes. No education policy can replace who is involved in their child’s education from day one, who makes that sure children are in school on time, who helps them with their homework and attends those parent-teacher conferences. No government program can turn off the TV set or put away the video games or read to your children.”

Since 2000:

• We have taught 15,000 parents to read to their children.
• We have worked with teachers in 130 schools
• We have donated 10,000 books to classroom lending libraries putting books in easy reach of children and their parents.
