Welcome to Raising Readers

     
 

Raising Readers was initiated to nurture and spark the magic of stories and reading for children. 

We are a non-profit organization and a registered charity supporting literacy in early childhood.

Rather than being a program to teach children to read, the goal of Raising Readers is to share an enthusiasm for stories, books, and poems.  A child does not need to know how to read to join. 

Each book-club includes story-telling, book presentation, and an opportunity for children to respond to stories with art, writing, drama and discussion. 

Please visit the Program page for further description of the book-clubs, and the Schedule page for term dates .
