Children who regularly experience the joy of reading with a family member or close friend learn to read more easily.

Children who read for fun tend to read better than those who never do.

Children who read well meet with greater success in school.

These are just some of the facts that motivated The Community Foundation to launch Let’s Read as one of its priority initiatives. We envision Let’s Read as a regional response to an identified community need that will transcend town borders. We want to make sure that children and families in all of our communities have the literacy skills they need to reach their full potential. Help us fund programs that work through Let’s Read.
