Reading is Fundamental Pittsburgh is a children’s literacy organization that works to lessen the literacy and achievement gaps in neighborhoods of need in Pittsburgh and Wilkinsburg.
During the 2024-25 program year, we provided more than 84,000 books to more than 13,600 children last school year and more than 3,600 children this past summer.
Additionally, we served nearly 8,000 children and their families at community events!
Our books come wrapped in programming that gets kids excited about reading and provides a network of literacy support that follows them from birth into their teens. Along the way, we reach out to families, caregivers, educators and the other important adults in youngsters’ lives whose involvement is crucial to their success.
