The Great Books Foundation, based in Chicago, Illinois, designs and delivers reading and discussion programs for learners across ages. It seeks to strengthen literacy and critical thinking to help participants become more knowledgeable, thoughtful, and civically engaged. The programs for preK-12 students emphasize thinking skills cultivated through discussion of fiction, poetry, drama, and nonfiction.

The foundation offers instruction for teachers, parents, and adult volunteers in Shared Inquiry, a method that promotes close reading, careful questioning, active listening, and respectful exchange of ideas. It builds partnerships with educational and community organizations to advance reading and discussion as a way to explore shared concerns and build common ground.
