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.

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.

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.
