Connecting Families Through Reading
Discover how our programs connect families and build early literacy skills
Stories Bring Families Closer
At Reading Legacies, a story is more than just words on a page. It’s a powerful way to bring families closer.
Stories can help children stay connected to parents separated by circumstances. They can also inspire families to start reading traditions from day one.
In every case, the result is the same: stronger relationships, brighter futures, and a reminder that stories connect us all.
Our work is simple yet powerful. We strengthen children’s lives by connecting them with family and friends through reading aloud.
Parent Education Workshops support early literacy, spark bonding moments, and empower parents as their child’s first teacher.
These workshops run in correctional facilities, addiction recovery programs, and communities facing poverty or marginalization. They help families stay connected through the power of stories.
What we Do
Our Vision
All children will feel the security of caring adult relationships. They will also develop a love of reading through the read-aloud experience.
To date, more than 70,000 children, youth, adults, and seniors have experienced the lasting impact of Reading Legacies, one story at a time.
Your support through donating or volunteering helps make this possible.

Stories Bring Families Closer
At Reading Legacies, we know that a story is more than just words on a page—it’s a powerful way to bring families closer.
Sometimes that means helping children stay connected to parents separated by circumstances beyond their control. Other times, it means inspiring families to build reading traditions from day one.
In every case, the result is the same: stronger relationships, brighter futures, and a reminder that stories connect us all.
What We Do
Our work is simple yet powerful: we strengthen children’s lives by connecting them with family and friends through the shared experience of reading aloud.
We nurture this idea through Parent Education Workshops that support early literacy, spark bonding moments, and empower parents in their role as their child’s first teacher.
These workshops are offered inside correctional facilities, addiction recovery programs, and throughout communities facing poverty or marginalization, helping families stay connected through the unifying power of stories.
