Page Ahead

Guided by the fact that literacy is essential to lifelong success, Page Ahead provides new books and develops reading activities that empower at-risk children. Founded in 1990, Page Ahead Children’s Literacy Program has given more than 3.5 million new books to more than 950,000 children through collaborations with schools, social service agencies, preschools, and early childhood programs across Washington. Through our programs, we work to erase the early reading gap for under resourced children before it becomes an “achievement” gap. Page Ahead will be filming videos of trained story tellers reading the books for our Story Leaders preschool program. Each video will be geared to help parents of preschool age children in our program learn unique and fun techniques to use when reading with their family.
