New Worlds Reading

We’re proud to support New Worlds Reading!

New Worlds Reading is Florida’s free home literacy program that delivers books and reading activities to eligible VPK – 5th graders. Enrolled children receive 9 free books that they choose each school year through fifth grade, along with reading activities and resources families can use to help build kids’ reading skills.

To be eligible, kids must be VPK - 5th graders who are not yet meeting grade level expectations in reading in Florida VPK programs, public schools, and charter schools.

The program is administered by the UF Lastinger Center for Learning, who has selected Scholastic as a partner. Books are selected in collaboration with the Florida Department of Education. Learn more at newworldsreading.com.
