Worldreader is a 501(c)(3) global nonprofit organization working with partners to get children reading at least 25 books a year with understanding.

Worldreader works with and through partners closely to provide the tools, training, and resources families need to help children experience the love of reading while developing foundational literacy and life skills.

Worldreader works in under-resourced communities across the United States (Atlanta, Chicago, San Francisco/Bay Area, North Carolina, West Virginia, and the Texas border).

The use of partnerships has allowed Worldreader to engage with institutions and organizations that service pre- and primary age children.

International non-governmental organizations, CARE, World Vision also anchor its impact at the community level across multiple geographies including Sierra Leone, Egypt, Ghana and Peru.

Partnerships with government sectors such as the National Teaching Council of the Ministry of Education Ghana, the National Book Trust in India, have provided Worldreader greater scale across administrative districts as evident in Kwaebibirem District, Ghana, and Moradabad, Uttar Pradesh, India.

In Kenya, EdTech Hub studied how through Worldreader's BookSmart application, Kenyan schools are using technology to improve parent and carers’ engagement with literacy learning in young readers.

In Kenya and in collaboration with Open University in the UK, Worldreader introduced an implementation science approach and the use of PLAN, STUDY, DO, and ACT (PDSA) cycles to test creative solutions for improving reading outcomes in children in 2022 [1].

A mix of private social investors, corporate sponsors, and government agencies including USAID, GPE, EdTech Hub, have funded the organization.
