Our mobile classroom, the Reading Express, has gained tremendous momentum over the years for its success in delivering early reading readiness programs to children and families across our community. Its impact has even captured international attention.

We are proud to support a Houston-based group from Pakistan as they deepen their understanding of infant and toddler brain development and learn how to provide literacy-based activities and resources to parents and families in their community, to replicate this unique program in their home country. It is truly inspiring to see the Reading Express as a catalyst for expanding literacy opportunities beyond our city!

National Family Reading Month is here!

Just dedicating 10 minutes a day to reading can significantly help children's literacy skills, expand their vocabulary, and spark their imagination. Reading together also creates meaningful moments for families to connect and learn together.

This month, take the time to turn the page together and inspire a lifelong love of reading.
