New Worlds Reading was signed into law in June 2021 as a program to help Florida’s striving readers strengthen their literacy skills, build reading confidence, and foster a lifelong love of reading.
Each month during the school year, eligible children receive a free book tailored to their interests with resources and activities for caregivers and children to use together.
To be eligible, a child must be in a Florida VPK and not yet meeting age-appropriate standards according to FAST Star Early Literacy or in K-5th grade and not yet reading on grade level in a Florida public or charter school.
Please sign up and take advantage of this wonderful opportunity if needed. Families can choose materials in English and/or Spanish.
