Share the Magic Foundation

Last summer, young readers showed up big time! Logging hours, building stamina and proving that reading is just like training for a game. #READCamp2025 is coming… much sooner than you think. Who’s ready?

We’re still grateful for such an incredible night at the 2026 Gala. Thank you to everyone who joined us, supported our mission, and helped make it so special. Your belief in our work allows us to keep showing up for students and schools every day. We couldn’t do this without you.

This year’s A Magical Evening of Literacy in 20 seconds. Thanks to everyone who supported! We love you!

READBowl brought the energy this year. 1,086,321 students. 800M reading minutes. 31,110 teams. Wow. Behind every number is a reader who showed up and kept going. We’re proud of every student, educator and caregiver who made this season special.

Happy READ Across America Day. We’re so proud to serve students in all 50 states and to empower everyone to keep reading across America… literally. Everyone has a favorite book and author. Dr. Seuss is this young reader’s. #readacrossamericaday

Today is the day! A Magical Evening of Literacy is here. Tonight we celebrate a decade of believing in kids and the power of reading. To every supporter who helped write this chapter, thank you. The next ten years start now.

Black History Month is a great time to refresh classroom shelves and lesson plans. Explore resources from PBS, NEA, Smithsonian Education and the Schomburg Syllabus for meaningful conversations and learning all year long. #BlackHistoryMonth

Not able to join us on February 28? You can still be part of the impact. A gift of any size supports books, rallies and programs for students who need them most. This mission is bigger than one night and every dollar moves a child closer to a brighter future.

READBowl brings big energy, but it’s the small moments that matter most. Focused readers. Teammates cheering. Smiles when goals are reached. These photos show students building confidence and owning their reading. Thanks to every classroom who made this season special.

Books connect history to real voices and lived experiences. This month and beyond, add titles that celebrate Black joy, resilience and imagination to your classroom. Powerful stories help learning last far beyond February. #BlackHistoryMonth

Spring calendars are filling fast and we want to see your students next. A Reading Rally brings joy, movement and belief back into reading. If your school is ready for a day your kids will talk about all year, reach out and let’s plan it. readwithmalcolm.com/reading-rallies

So much of this work happens because educators keep showing up. They make space for reading, encourage progress and celebrate effort, even on the hardest days. We see you, and we’re grateful to stand with classrooms that believe in kids.

Black History Month celebrates stories that shaped this country and voices that changed the world. Reading those stories matters. They remind students who they are and who they can become. We’re proud to help kids see themselves in books. #BlackHistoryMonth
