Read To Grow

Advancing Early Literacy for Lifelong Learning

At Read to Grow, we believe that every child deserves the opportunity to thrive through the power of words and stories, starting at birth. As a statewide nonprofit, we work to build strong foundations for lifelong learning by promoting language skills, increasing access to books, and supporting families as their child’s first and most important teachers.

Our Mission

To promote language skills and literacy for children, beginning at birth, and to support families as their babies’ first teachers.

Our Vision

Every family will understand the importance of early childhood literacy and actively engage in their child’s reading development. All children in Connecticut will have books of their own.

Our Core Values

We are committed to making books a part of every child’s life from birth.

We support families in fostering early language and literacy skills.

We collaborate with families, partner organizations, and community groups.

We uphold Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging in all we do.
We are committed to financial sustainability and long-term impact.
