o support parents and caregivers, Georgia Public Broadcasting (GPB), in partnership with the Georgia Department of Education, has created Raising a Reader, a series of short videos and resources designed to help families encourage reading at every stage of a child’s development. The series offers practical tips, age-appropriate strategies, and simple ways to make reading a meaningful part of daily life.
