Your Gift Matters
Enhance Family Read Aloud Experiences
By developing new family-focused resources and activity guides, which tie family time to reading. Made accessible and free to all, these resources will enhance reading experiences by helping parents and kids make real-life connections to the stories they read.
Educate Parents in Reading Concepts
By modernizing our original family read-aloud materials and guides. For over two decades, parents and teachers have sought RAA’s guidance through parent trainings and Read Aloud Programs. Now, we’ll make these resources available to all.
Empower Schools to Raise Readers
By producing a family literacy toolkit. As the Read Aloud Program’s popularity soared, we saw the need to increase schools’ access to the program. This toolkit will give schools the blueprint for RAP, so they can deliver an innovative reading program that gets real results.

Bring RAP Back
Many of you have asked us if we’re planning to bring RAP back, after the pandemic forced the program to shut down. The answer is: we’re developing a way to bring RAP back better than ever! Our forthcoming RAP Toolkit will enable school communities around the country to implement their own RAP program and inspire families for generations to come.
Your gift today will help us enhance RAP’s impact by:
Empowering Schools
The forthcoming RAP Toolkit will give schools the blueprint to implement RAP in their community, and adapt it to support their unique needs.
Spreading the Word
RAP will extend its reach beyond Hawaii, inspiring families from New York to Los Angeles, from Seattle to Miami, to get back to the wholesome joy of reading aloud.
Strengthening Families
RAP has been the catalyst for new family habits that replace electronics with books, “brain drains” with imagination and curiosity, and isolation with strong family bonds.
