Every parent and caregiver wants their child to read and thrive. Learn more about what you can do to support your child’s early literacy journey with our new guide, A Family Guide to the Science of Reading.

Reading together isn’t just about the words on the page. Talking, asking questions, singing, rhyming, and telling stories all help children build the language skills they need for proficient literacy.

The guide breaks down the science of reading and what you can do to build strong reading foundations at home and partner with your child’s teacher.

Families are their child’s first and most important teacher. And while learning to read doesn’t happen naturally in the same way as learning to talk or walk, families have an incredibly important role to play. A Family Guide to the Science of Reading is a go-to resource to help you understand how children learn to read and feel confident playing an active role in their child’s literacy journey.

Olga Corona De La Cruz, Vice President of Programs, FIS

Every child deserves the opportunity to become a strong, confident reader, and families are essential to making that possible. When we give parents and caregivers the knowledge and tools to understand how children learn to read, we empower them to advocate for their children and partner more effectively with educators. This guide is about making the science of reading accessible to every family—and helping families know that they have an important role in their child’s success.

Yolie Flores, President & CEO, FIS

Reading starts at home and takes root in the classroom. When teachers and families like yours share the same understanding of how children learn, every child can become a confident, capable reader.

We hope that, through this guide, you will be able to help put your child on the path to reading and thriving.
