Since 2000, Room to Read's book publishing program has created more than 6,100 children’s books in over 50 languages and 23 countries. We’ve shared 36 million copies of these books with students in over 49,000 schools across the world. Our instructional materials, including literacy textbooks and decodable readers, have provided foundational support for an estimated 28 million students to date. Room to Read books and educational materials are written and illustrated by talented local creators, and published by in-country teams. These teams often adapt trade books from other Room to Read countries to ensure that children in underserved communities can access both “mirror” and “window” books in their own languages. Our work brings together the magic of books with a strong foundation in literacy to ensure children have books they both can and want to read.
