About Every Child a Reader

Every Child a Reader (ECAR) is dedicated to supporting positive programs and opportunities that help promote the enjoyment of reading among America’s youth with the goal of instilling a lifelong love of reading. A 501(c)(3) organization, ECAR was founded by the Board of Directors of the Children’s Book Council (CBC) and is unique among literacy organizations in its ability to harness the collective power of the children’s book publishing industry to create a positive social impact in our communities. Its goals echo those of the CBC, which are to make the reading and enjoyment of children’s books an essential part of America’s educational and social goals and to enhance public perception of the importance of reading.

Every Child A Reader administers Children’s Book Week, the nation’s longest-running literacy initiative (now in its 93rd year) and the National Ambassador for Young People’s Literature Program, which raises national awareness of the importance of young people’s literature as it relates to lifelong literacy, education and the development and betterment of the lives of young people.
