What We Do
Read the Room is a nonprofit literacy access program that helps young children fall in love with reading by supporting the adults who shape their world—teachers, families, and community members. Grounded in culturally sustaining pedagogy, our work centers children’s identities, lived experiences, and storytelling traditions.
We train and coach PreK–2nd grade educators, helping them create joyful, flexible, standards-aligned lessons that truly meet children where they are. And because literacy doesn’t begin or end in the classroom, we also host family events, community gatherings, and hands-on activities that make reading accessible.
Together, we’re building communities where every child can grow as a reader and every adult feels empowered to support their journey.
