We empower children to read, learn and grow

For 50 years, Reading Is Fundamental has used its experience and expertise to motivate and inspire young children to read.

It’s not just the books we distribute that make an impact. Our evidence-based program, Read for Success, helps children improve reading proficiency and combat summer learning loss – a contributing factor to the achievement gap.

Millions of children need help improving their reading skills. Millions of children need RIF.

Since 1966, RIF has distributed more than 412 million books to 40 million children nationwide, improving their ability to read, learn and grow.
