We are proud to share our 2024 Annual Impact Report.
With the steadfast support of literacy champions across Canada, we continued our mission to empower every child to become a lifelong reader. This year, we made incredible strides, equipping adults with evidence-based tools and knowledge to foster children’s literacy, building stronger partnerships across sectors, and driving systemic change to address Canada’s reading challenges.
In this report, you’ll learn about how our Early Words program expanded to over 100 clinics across 12 provinces and territories, providing training to an additional 249 healthcare professionals and distributing over 50,000 books to families. You’ll also read about our initiatives to integrate early literacy into medical education, insights from our partnerships with Indigenous communities, and research we’ve commissioned to advance literacy solutions, like our soon-to-be released “Five By Five” report addressing essential skills children need to become literate.
None of this would be possible without the dedication of families, educators, healthcare professionals, policymakers, donors, and partners who share our vision for a more literate Canada. Together, we are ensuring that every child’s journey to literacy is supported by proven programs, inclusive resources, and collaborative solutions.
Join us in celebrating this year’s achievements and the brighter future we are building for children’s literacy.
