Our Purpose
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. By connecting children and parents through the joy of reading aloud, we create meaningful moments that strengthen bonds and spark a lifelong love of books.
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.
To date, more than 70,000 children, youth, adults, and seniors have experienced the lasting impact of Reading Legacies—one story at a time.
What We Do
Our mission is simple yet powerful: to strengthen children’s lives by connecting them with family and friends through the shared experience of reading aloud.
We bring this mission to life through Parent Education Workshops that nurture early literacy, spark bonding moments, and empower parents in their role as their child’s first teacher.
These workshops are offered in a variety of settings—inside correctional facilities, addiction recovery programs, and throughout communities facing poverty or marginalization—helping families stay connected through the unifying power of stories.
