Empowering families. Expanding access. Changing futures through literacy.

Need to Read (N2R) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to ensuring every child—especially those in under-resourced communities—enters school with the literacy foundation needed to thrive.

We provide families with age-appropriate books, parent training, and community-based reading resources that build strong preliteracy and early literacy skills.

We are changing this story—one book, one family, one community at a time.
