Our Program

Ready, Set, Read! provides children with new, bilingual books to build their home libraries.

And, we provide parents with the knowledge and skills to lay the foundation for their children’s early learning and literacy. We also donate classroom collections of books to early education centers.

We work to ensure Los Angeles children ages 0-5 have access to literacy rich environments at home and at school.

Our three bilingual (English/Spanish) parent workshops are offered to parents on-site at their child’s early education center (EEC) and facilitated by EEC educators who receive training from Ready, Set, Read!

The workshops include 1) Foundations of Literacy; 2) Math & Literacy; and 3) Science & Literacy.

Our curriculum is research based, drawing on the fields of pediatrics, early childhood development, and cognitive neuroscience. Ready, Set, Read! content highlights the vital and valuable role parents and caregivers play in supporting their children’s early learning, and amplifies their knowledge and skills related to early learning and literacy.
