November is Family Engagement Month, a perfect reminder that the most powerful learning doesn’t just happen in classrooms—it happens at home, in small, joyful moments families create together. At Raising a Reader, we’ve spent 25+ years helping families build reading routines that spark curiosity, strengthen relationships, and set children on a lifelong path to learning and academic success.

When families read together regularly, children show increased language skills, stronger comprehension, and greater confidence. But reading together isn’t about perfection. It’s about connection. Just ten minutes a day can make a meaningful difference.

Why Family Engagement Matters

Decades of research show that children learn best when their families are active partners. Reading routines strengthen parent–child bonds, build language, and support emotional well-being. This belief guides everything we do.
