Talk Read Sing is a national awareness campaign that empowers families to be their baby’s first teacher by talking, reading and singing to them every day.
When families talk, read and sing with a child – even before they can use words – they’re helping them learn. Research shows that talking, reading and singing with a child every day from birth helps build their brains as well as important language, math, reading and social skills for use in school and beyond.
Empower yourself, your students or your child all year long with free tools and resources available at lehighvalleyreads.org.
“Increasing literacy in our community is no small task. Together with partners and donors like you, we can protect every child’s right to read.”

Univest Public Media Center’s VP Policy & Advocacy
