Celebrating 25 Years of Impact: Raising a Reader’s 2024 Impact Report is Here!

04.09.2025 Featured

For 25 years, Raising a Reader has empowered families to build strong reading routines that foster a lifelong love of learning. Today, we are thrilled to share our 2024 Impact Report, a reflection of the incredible progress we’ve made together in advancing early literacy and family engagement.

This year’s report highlights our growing reach, with 34,000 additional children and families served and new partnerships with organizations like Stanford IMPACT, Utah Foster Care, and Save the Children to expand reading access nationwide. We also piloted Read Together, Grow Together and early math initiatives, ensuring a whole-child approach to learning.

Most importantly, the data speaks volumes:

  • 92% of families established a shared reading routine (up from 64%).
  • 91% of parents feel confident supporting their child’s learning at home.
  • 87% of families believe their child is school-ready (compared to just 45% before Raising a Reader).

These achievements wouldn’t be possible without our dedicated partners, educators, and supporters. Together, we’re making a difference!
