Why Learn to Read?

Reading is the key to all other learning, and learning to read begins at home. When you share a book with a child, you open worlds, help them in their journey toward lifelong success, and create great memories. The Reading Tub is a nonprofit for children’s literacy. Here on our blog, you’ll find news, book reviews, and reading ideas.

About Us

The Reading Tub, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that promotes literacy by encouraging families to read together. This blog is our way of enjoying and engaging in the conversation about raising readers and supporting family literacy.

We believe reading is a public commodity. It is a skill that touches every facet of our lives and it is something that we need to know how to do. We aren’t born readers, we have to learn how to read.

Although many of us believe that we learn to read in elementary school, the truth is, learning to read starts well before that … when you read aloud with your infant or toddler you are walking the path of family literacy.Visit the Reading Tub website to find articles with reading strategies, ideas for early literacy skills, and finding great books … including book series, which young kids particularly enjoy sharing.
