Our Programs

Room to Read believes that world change starts with educated children. We envision a world in which all children can pursue a quality education that enables them to reach their full potential and contribute to their community.

Room to Read’s innovative model focuses on deep, systemic transformation within schools in low-income countries during two time periods that are most critical in a child’s schooling: early primary school for literacy acquisition and secondary school for girls’ education. We work in collaboration with local communities, partner organizations and governments to develop literacy skills and a habit of reading among primary school children and ensure girls can complete secondary school with the skills necessary to negotiate key life decisions. Room to Read has benefited 18 million children across more than 20,000 communities in 16 countries and aims to reach double the number children by 2025.

Literacy Program

Our Literacy Program enables primary school children to become independent readers. Room to Read focuses its efforts on developing reading skills and the habit of reading in primary school-aged children because literacy is the foundation for all future learning. We do this primarily by establishing libraries, increasing access to age-appropriate and culturally relevant reading materials (including publishing original children’s books), improving the child-friendliness of the school environment, and ensuring teachers and librarians are trained in the best practices of reading and writing instruction.
