About Reading by 9
Los Angeles Times Reading by 9 has worked to address the child literacy crisis in Southern California since 1998. By providing parents and educators with the necessary tools, it helps students in kindergarten through third grade learn to read — a crucial step toward future academic success.
Each year, The Times publishes its bilingual reading guide in partnership with childhood literacy organizations, which is distributed in English and Spanish to parents, educators, nonprofit organizations and libraries free of charge.
Past partners have included Access Books and Common Sense Media. The comprehensive guide features book recommendations, local literacy resources and tips for incorporating reading into a child’s daily life. Reading by 9 is also committed to furthering literature through educational programs. Donations to the Reading by 9 fund may be made through the California Community Foundation.
