A Shared Mission
Skybrary is powered by Reading Is Fundamental (RIF), the nation’s leading children’s literacy nonprofit. Unlock a world of stories for your child, and help get books and reading resources into the hands of children across the United States, especially those in under-resourced communities.
A Nation of Lifelong Readers
For almost 60 years, RIF has been dedicated to ensuring that every child has the chance to read, learn, and succeed. Reading Is Fundamental works to disrupt the alarming U.S. literacy crisis by inspiring the joy of reading in children, a critical element to driving the frequency, motivation, and engagement needed to create skilled readers. We know that if we build a foundation of joy for children, then development, discovery, and opportunity follow.
Who We Support
While the literacy crisis is urgent, RIF believes there is a clear path forward. We are actively working in communities across all 50 states, Washington, DC, and U.S. territories, focusing on children from birth through 8th grade to create lasting change.
RIF is committed to providing Skybrary to schools and classrooms across the country. Currently over 4,500 teachers trust in Skybrary.
