Raising a Reader: Classic Red Bag Program (RAR) supports families to build, practice, and grow reading routines at home. RAR is an evidence-based program, award-winning program that helps parents and caregivers build the supports for success and an early love for literacy. RAR achieves this by helping families create shared reading routines, fostering positive social interactions, healthy family relationships, and learning skills they need to thrive in school and beyond.
