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 and Classrooms as Leaders in Literacy
Libraries and classrooms are uniquely positioned to extend early literacy support beyond their respective walls.
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 and classrooms can offer a system of support, one that helps children build skills, confidence, and independence as readers.
Built for Libraries and Classrooms. Impactful for Children and 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 and classrooms to implement
- Easy for families to use
- Meaningful for children as they grow as readers

The Science Behind My Road to Reading
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.
