We look forward to seeing you tonight as we continue working together to build stronger learners, stronger families, and a stronger community. 💙💚

💙 Happy Parent Appreciation Day! 💙

Today, we celebrate the parents, grandparents, guardians, and caregivers who encourage a love of learning every day.

Whether you’re reading a bedtime story, helping with homework, practicing sight words, or simply showing a child that education matters, you’re making a lasting impact.

At Reading Connections, we know that literacy is a family affair. When adults strengthen their literacy skills, entire families benefit. Parents gain confidence, children see the value of learning, and future generations are inspired to reach their full potential.

As we celebrate Parent Appreciation Day, we also invite you to support family literacy by joining us at The Grown Up Book Fair, Reading Connections’ signature fall fundraiser. The proceeds help support our adult literacy, English language, workforce, and family literacy programs, creating opportunities for learners of all ages.

Thank you to every parent and caregiver who helps write the next chapter of a child’s story.

Wait…it’s CAKE?! 🤯📚

If you’ve been on social media lately, you’ve probably seen these incredibly realistic cakes that make you do a double take.

This school lunch tray? It’s cake.

It got us thinking…

The best surprises aren’t always what they seem.

That’s exactly how many people feel when they hear about our Grown Up Book Fair.

“A book fair…for adults?”

Yes! And it’s every bit as fun as you remember.

📚 Nostalgic books.
📚 Fun shopping.
📚 Great conversations.
📚 A chance to reconnect with the joy of reading.

Literacy Impacts the Whole Family

When an adult strengthens their literacy skills, the benefits can reach far beyond one person.

Adult learners may feel more confident helping with homework, reading with their children, communicating with teachers, and making important family decisions.

Your support helps Reading Connections serve adults and families throughout our community.

Attend the Grown Up Book Fair or make a donation to help us continue this work.
