The Family Reading Partnership, located in Ithaca, New York, is a coalition of organizations, individuals, schools, libraries and businesses that is working to create a "culture of literacy" by promoting family reading practices in the community and beyond.

Help us to encourage all families to read to their babies right from the start by showing the many ways it's done. Send us your photos of reading to your baby.
