Many children need support beyond school to become successful readers, and families are often unsure where to begin. My Road to Reading removes that guesswork by organizing books and materials into a step-by-step pathway, guiding what to read next and how to support learning along the way.
Libraries as Leaders in Literacy
Libraries are uniquely positioned to extend early literacy support beyond the classroom.
My Road to Reading makes that support visible and usable by providing:
- A clear starting point for families
- A structured progression of skills
- Built-in guidance for how to help
Rather than simply offering books, libraries can offer a system of support, one that helps children build skills, confidence, and independence as readers.
Built for Libraries. Impactful for Families.
My Road to Reading is designed to be easy to browse, simple to circulate, and intuitive for both staff and families.
Each bin of books is clearly labeled and organized so families can follow the progression and see growth over time. Embedded support (a guide to each bin and QR codes to online instruction and videos) helps caregivers feel confident in how to support reading at home.
The result is a program that is:
- Easy for libraries to implement
- Easy for families to use
- Meaningful for children as they grow as readers

Learning to read happens through practice with skills that build on one another. My Road to Reading reflects this process through a carefully sequenced progression of phonics skills.
Each bin isolates a key concept and provides the repeated, meaningful practice children need to apply that skill in connected text, while also supporting visible growth in confidence and independence.
