About this organization
Mission
Make Way for Books' mission is to give all children the chance to read and succeed. Established in 1998, we provide proven early literacy programs, services, and resources to 30,000 children, parents, and educators throughout Arizona annually. Make Way for Books builds on the latest research to provide innovative and bilingual programs that ensure underserved and economically disadvantaged young children (ages birth to 5) develop emergent literacy and language skills, social-emotional skills, and positive approaches to learning that are central to school readiness and academic success. Through a two-generation approach, we ensure caregivers have the skills and resources to support their children’s development.
About
Story Project: This comprehensive early literacy strategy provides economically-disadvantaged children (ages birth to 5) with opportunities to discover the joy of books and develop early literacy skills. The program is offered at under-resourced preschools, childcare centers, and home-based care settings throughout southern AZ. Through increased access to books and daily exposure to meaningful literacy activities, 94% of children gained critical literacy and language skills. Participating educators and parents learn strategies to share books to support their childs literacy and language development. In 2018-19, the program served 7,500 young children and parents as well as 778 educators. Nearly 27,000 books were checked out by children and families and more than 18,000 quality books were provided to childrens classrooms and homes. MWFB has impacted thousands of children, families, and educators through southern AZ through this strategy for more than 21 years.
