Our Mission Statement

Fostering family literacy through developing partnerships between communities and public schools.

All District Reads partners with schools and participating communities to encourage reading aloud in households and classrooms of all Kindergarten through 5th grade students, with special advantages for low-income students. The ADR reading program provides a shared reading experience within homes to promote literacy and create a passion for reading.

Children born into poverty face numerous challenges, including a deficiency in literacy skills. Research indicates that children raised in households with books gain a significant edge compared to those who do not have access to books.
