Founded in 1989, United Through Reading is a nonprofit 501 (c)(3) public benefit organization.
Our mission is to unite military families facing physical separation by facilitating the bonding experience of reading aloud together.
Our vision is that all children will feel the security of caring family relationships and develop a love of reading through the read aloud experience.
United Through Reading, the nation’s first nonprofit to promote the read aloud experience for separated military families, offers deployed parents the opportunity to be video-recorded reading storybooks to their children which creates positive emotional connections and cultivates a love of reading. By participating, deployed parents can turn downtime into Mommy or Daddy time to help ease the stress of separation, build family resiliency and make homecomings easier.
