Ferst Readers
Founded in 1999, Ferst Readers was created to address a growing challenge: too many children, particularly those from low income communities, were entering kindergarten without the early literacy skills and school readiness they needed to succeed. This preventable issue can have lasting effects, influencing a child's academic achievement, future opportunities, and lifelong success. The recipe for early school success is simple: start school with strong literacy skills. Ferst Readers’ recipe for encouraging early literacy development is even simpler: ensure children have developmentally appropriate books in their homes and provide parents with resources supporting them as their child's first teacher.
