Teach My Kid to Read

08/24/2026

📚 We started Teach My Kid to Read because so many kids struggled to read, and we knew libraries could help with the right support.

Since launching the Road to Decode in 2019, we've partnered with libraries across the country to build decodable book collections, create literacy hubs, and give parents and caregivers the tools they need to support early readers at home.

October is Dyslexia Awareness Month, and we want to continue our tradition of giving libraries access to tools that raise awareness about dyslexia and ways to help all kids learn to read.

Whether you're a librarian who's been curious about decodable books, a parent who knows something isn't working with your child's reading, or a volunteer who just wants to do something meaningful this month, this is your invitation.

Join our free Dyslexia Awareness Month program and get:
✅ Ready-to-use display materials and signage.
✅ Curated decodable book resources.
✅ Connection to a network of libraries already doing this work. ✅ A place to share what you do and celebrate with us.

It's free. It takes one minute to sign up on our Circle platform.

One library. One display. One child who finally feels seen. That's Dyslexia Awareness Month. 🧡

There’s a moment we wish every child could experience.

The moment the words on the page begin to make sense.
The moment they realize, I can read this.
The moment a book stops being something they struggle through and becomes a place they want to go.

That moment can change everything.

At Teach My Kid to Read, we believe every child deserves the opportunity to become a confident reader and discover the joy, freedom, and possibility that lives inside a book.

Because literacy isn’t just about reading words. It’s about opening doors.

Today, we celebrate the book lovers. And we’re working for the children who are still waiting to become one.

Every child. Every book. Every opportunity to read. 📖❤️

How do libraries become Community Literacy Hubs?

If you've ever wondered what it takes to build one, we'd love to have you join us for this special panel discussion hosted with Brodart Co

Hear directly from librarians in Michigan, Texas, and New York who have created, or are currently creating, Community Literacy Hubs in their libraries. They'll share:

📚 How they secured funding
📚 How they selected decodable books and literacy materials
📚 Lessons they learned along the way
📚 The impact these collections are already having on children and families

We'll also introduce the first Brodart Literacy Hub, launching this winter at the Troy Public Library in New York.

Whether you're a librarian, educator, publisher, or literacy advocate, you'll leave with practical ideas you can apply in your own community.

🗓 Tuesday, August 26
🕒 3:00 PM ET

More than 130 people have already registered, so we'd love to have you join us!

Please feel free to share this with colleagues who are passionate about helping every child learn to read.
