Ready 4 Reading, 501 c 3 nonprofit organization, guides underserved parents and caregivers of primarily newborns through 48 month olds to create a love of books, develop readiness for reading, and provide children’s books in homes.

Very early literacy is what little ones learn about listening, speaking, reading, and writing from the very youngest ages—beginning at birth. Very early learning experiences with spoken and written language set the stage for newborn to fours to become successful readers and writers. Ideally, these experiences begin at home, from the first week, with mothers, fathers, relatives, or guardians.
