Our Reading Family


Our Reading Family engages families with literacy and supports them in developing a love of reading, together.

Each ORF cohort meets weekly, for six consecutive weeks. At each of the six sessions, there are activities for students and enrichment opportunities for parents/guardians, as well as portions of the program where families and kids learn, laugh, and share stories together!

Our Reading Family is a highly accessible program that any community can adopt and run at a low operational cost. Attend a one-time training to learn best practices for leading a successful cohort, receive all of the activities and planning materials, and your group will be ready to launch Our Reading Family in your community!

Interested in starting your own Our Reading Family program site? We'd love to help you get started! Email literacy@isjl.org with the subject line "Our Reading Family."


Special note during COVID-19: We're still offering programming - but keeping our families and volunteers safe! Our Reading Family Virtual is a modified version of the classic program. Small cohorts meet over Zoom for 90 minutes each Saturday for four weeks.

​To become a trained facilitator and bring this affordable, accessible opportunity to your community, email literacy@isjl.org.
