Let's Read Asia

Let’s Read is an app and web-based platform that builds a world where curious and educated readers create thriving societies. Let's Read draws on the Asia Foundation's 18 offices in the region and deep ties in local communities to build an unprecedented digital library of relatable, local language books accessible to all children. Let's Read nurtures reading habits that enable children to reach important developmental milestones, families to share stories that affirm their culture, and communities to flourish and grow inclusively.

Let's Read BookLabs bring together authors, illustrators, and editors to produce relatable, high-quality children's books in local languages. Let's Read books are shared across the region through translation by local volunteers supported by local language experts. They also connect with community organisations, educators, publishers, and universities to source content and build a localised and sustainable solution to book scarcity.
