Each of our reading centers provide a place where families can read together, learn how to make reading a habit at home and gain access to books year-round. In addition, every child at participating schools receives a membership to United Way Club Connect, a national website featuring celebrity book readings, games, videos and other learning activities.
Reading centers are currently located at Arlington ISD, Fort Worth ISD, Hurst-Euless-Bedford ISD, and Keller ISD.
