Raising A Reader MA Partners
Raising A Reader National
We are proud to be affiliated with the national branch of Raising A Reader and are eager to share their resources with our Massachusetts communities.
Authors have collaborated with Raising A Reader to record story time videos narrating their own children’s books which can be found on this YouTube playlist. Raising A Reader National has also curated a playlist of Parent Reading Strategies that enhance reading practices at home.
Their Shared Reading Program has access to read aloud in English and Spanish, story guides, and extension activities.
