Page Ahead Children’s Literacy Program

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 4 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 has grown from a King County book giveaway project to the leading provider of children’s books and literacy services in the state, currently serving more than 19,000 students in eighteen counties, and a top-ranked early childhood education program nationwide on Charity Navigator.

Summer Story Times!

This summer our trained story time volunteer readers will be out in the community on Tuesdays and Thursdays reading to kids of all ages. These events are free and open to all. Learn more here.

COVID-19 Response Projects

In the new reality of remote learning and social distancing, supporting home learning environments and helping children in low-income areas keep up their reading skills is more critical than ever. Page Ahead is responding to these needs, and we thank everyone who is working with us to help connect kids with books during this difficult time.  Learn more here!

Having books at home is the greatest predictor of a child’s future academic success. And during summer breaks and school closures, that book access is more important than ever, especially for children in majority low-income communities. Put books on kids’ shelves with a gift to Page Ahead today!

Buy books from Page Ahead’s Amazon or Bookshop wish lists to be delivered to the Page Ahead offices; books will then be distributed to young readers throughout Washington.

Cash donations to Page Ahead right now will help us get books to kids who need them most during these unprecedented times of school closures and remote learning.
