Reading Legacies

Above all else, our mission is to instill a love of reading in children. Here's an inside scoop of what our programs are all about. 📚💛 Thanks to hundreds of volunteers and countless supporters like you, lives have been changed for the better. Take a look! ✨

Community Partner Spotlight! @ReadingLegacies provides read-aloud experiences for kids and families, helping prepare young learners for success in school. Support for these programs is a part of our Ready to Learn partnership with the San Diego Foundation.

Did you know? 35% of children enter school unprepared to learn, and 25% of high school grads read below an 8th-grade level. Reading Legacies is on a mission to change these stats by promoting early reading. 🌟 #ReadingLegacies #EducationForAll

Reading aloud isn't just about books—it's about bonding. Strengthen your connection with the children in your life by sharing the joy of a good story. 📖 #ReadingLegacies #BuildConnections #ReadAloud

A simple act like reading aloud can create lasting memories and connections that children cherish for life. Let’s build a future where every child feels the warmth of a caring adult reading to them. 💖 #ReadTogether #ReadingLegacies #ChildDevelopment

Books can have a profound impact in our lives. It can spark change. On #ReadAcrossAmerica Week, we share the story of a father who loves his daughters so much & how reading kept them together during challenging times. We partner w/ @ReadingLegacies for this #ReentryWorks program.

⭐️ In 2018, our Founder Betty Mohlenbrock was a L’Oréal Paris #WomenOfWorth Honoree. ⠀ ⭐️ To elevate their powerful stories, this year's honorees will be featured on primetime television, as the L'Oréal Paris special broadcast event returns to NBC tonight at 5:00 PST! Tune in!

Our Founder, Betty was recently interviewed on Drew Schlosberg’s “Spotlight on the Community” podcast, sharing about the importance of reading with children regularly, how our programs empower parents, and how we can all do our part to make the world a better place.
