About Us

Driven by our commitment to help all children achieve literacy.

Founded with a passion to improve the lives of early learners, Rhyme to Read aspires to embolden all children with a zeal for reading. 

As educators, we set out to create an easy-to-use and accessible resource to help young students gain the skills and confidence needed for future success. The Rhyme to Read books and activities are designed to be intuitive, interactive, and inclusive for children of all backgrounds.

We have been so humbled by the overwhelming response from parents and teachers that Rhyme to Read has provided the missing link to building a strong literacy foundation for young readers. We look forward to continued innovation with our program as we partner with families to ensure reading success.
