READ… Every Child, Every Parent, Every Day

Before elementary school. Before kindergarten. Before preschool. Children are learning. Not just learning; they are building the foundations that will support their education for years to come. Science has proved that birth to age 5 is perhaps the most important period of development in a child’s life. That’s why The Educators’ Spin On It in Florida has joined the Read Aloud 15 MINUTES National Campaign. 

READ.. every child, every parent, every day!


The Campaign wants all parents to know: If you wait, it’s too late. 


“From birth to age 5 there is no school like the “School of You,” Parents and primary caregivers are the people in the best position to grow their baby’s brain.  No one else is there, right from birth, like a parent. No one else can, talk, sing, play and read aloud to a child like a parent can. And, of course, no one cares like a parent cares.” 

Read Aloud 15 MINUTES Co-Founder and President, Dr. Candace Kendle. 

Supporting Read Aloud 15 Minutes a Day 

Throughout the month of March, Read Aloud 15 MINUTES and its more than 1,200 partners across all 50 states are sharing this message… 

The key window of brain development from birth to age 5, and parents’ vital role during that time. “We strongly believe if parents understood how important their role is as first teacher, and the difference that reading aloud for 15 minutes every day from birth can make, they would absolutely do it,” says Co-Founder and Executive Director, Bob Robbins.

“When parents understand that talking, playing, singing and reading aloud are not enhancements, but are instead requirements, for their child’s development, we will see huge leaps in children’s readiness for school and life.”

About Read Aloud 

Read Aloud 15 MINUTES is a non-profit organization that is working to make reading aloud every day for at least 15 minutes the new standard in child care. When every child is read aloud to for 15 minutes every day from birth, more children will be ready to learn when they enter kindergarten, more children will have the literacy skills needed to succeed in school, and more children will be prepared for a productive and meaningful life after school.

    I agree with this so much! We've read (and continue to read) to all three of my kids, and it's one of those simple things that have a wide range of consequences. They love school, they learned to read earlier, their teachers say they're more advanced than their peers, etc. Such a simple thing to do with serious returns on investment 🙂

    YES!! Thank you so much for spreading the word on this. I have so many students who would benefit from some reading time with their family. Definitely passing this along.
