Ready, Set, Read! provides books to Los Angeles children ages 0-5, and offers high-quality workshops for parents as they prepare their children for success in school and beyond. We partner with preschools and kindergartens in underserved Los Angeles communities by providing workshops filled with easy-to-implement tips and hands-on training. We make home reading easier by distributing age-appropriate books to families and donating lending libraries to classrooms. By involving parents in their children's literacy development, we pave the way for future reading which ultimately aids educational success

Since 1999, we have provided more than 30,000 books and reached more than 50,000 parents across Los Angeles—and we are now poised for significant growth in the year ahead. We recently received an in-kind grant of $250,000 for bilingual children’s books, and we are partnering with LAUSD to provide these books to 10,000 families across all of the district’s early education centers.
