FORM 990, PART I, LINE 6, VOLUNTEERS:	THE BARBARA BUSH FOUNDATION FOR FAMILY LITERACY, INC IS A PUBLIC CHARITY FOUNDED BY FORMER FIRST LADY BARBARA BUSH. THE BUSH FAMILY IS PROUD TO SUPPORT LITERACY THROUGH THEIR PHILANTHROPIC EFFORTS. BARBARA BUSH'S DAUGHTER, DOROTHY BUSH KOCH, IS HONORARY CHAIR OF THE FOUNDATION, AND TWO OF MRS. BUSH'S GRANDSONS - JEB BUSH, JR. AND ROBERT KOCH - ARE BOARD MEMBERS OF THE FOUNDATION. BUSH FAMILY MEMBERS WHO LEND THEIR NAMES AND VALUABLE TIME AS VOLUNTEERS, PARTICULARLY TO SUPPORT THE FOUNDATION'S CELEBRATION OF READING EVENTS, INCLUDE PRESIDENT GEORGE W. AND LAURA BUSH, GOVERNOR JEB AND COLUMBA BUSH, MARVIN AND MARGARET BUSH, NEIL AND MARIA BUSH, DORO AND BOBBY KOCH, ALEXANDER ANDREWS, PACE ANDREWS, THE HONORABLE GEORGE P.

FORM 990, PART III, LINE 1, DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION MISSION:	A NATIONAL PUBLIC CHARITY BASED IN WASHINGTON, D.C., THE BARBARA BUSH FOUNDATION FOR FAMILY LITERACY IS DEDICATED TO BUILDING A STRONGER, MORE EQUITABLE AMERICA THROUGH LITERACY. ESTABLISHED BY FIRST LADY BARBARA BUSH IN 1989, WE HAVE SUPPORTED EVIDENCE-BASED FAMILY LITERACY PROGRAMS IN ALL 50 STATES AND THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA. SINCE THE PASSING OF OUR FOUNDER IN 2018, WE HAVE FULLY TRANSITIONED FROM A GRANTMAKER TO AN IMPLEMENTING ORGANIZATION, WITH OUR EFFORTS LASER-FOCUSED ON EXECUTION OF OUR STRATEGY TO SOLVE WHAT OUR FOUNDER CALLED "THE GREAT SOLVABLE PROBLEM OF OUR TIME." WE ARE THE NATION'S LEADING ADVOCATE IN BREAKING THE MULTIGENERATIONAL CYCLE OF LOW LITERACY AND IMPROVING THE QUALITY OF LIFE FOR FAMILIES. RECOGNIZING THAT THIS MULTIGENERATIONAL ISSUE HAS BEEN HISTORICALLY UNDER-RESOURCED AND UNDER-RESEARCHED, THE FOUNDATION BELIEVES THAT INVESTING IN ADULT AND FAMILY LITERACY WILL POSITIVELY IMPACT ECONOMIC, HEALTH, AND SOCIAL OUTCOMES, TRANSFORMING FAMILIES, HISTORICALLY MARGINALIZED COMMUNITIES, AND OUR NATION AS A WHOLE. FORMER FIRST LADY BARBARA BUSH CHOSE LITERACY AS HER LIFE'S WORK BASED ON A SIMPLE, BUT POWERFUL BELIEF: "IF MORE PEOPLE COULD READ, WRITE, AND COMPREHEND, WE WOULD BE THAT MUCH CLOSER TO SOLVING SO MANY OF THE PROBLEMS PLAGUING OUR SOCIETY." SHE KNEW THAT LITERACY IS THE KEY TO A LIFE OF EQUITY, OPPORTUNITY, AND PROSPERITY FOR ALL AMERICANS. RESEARCH CONTINUES TO PROVE THAT SHE WAS RIGHT, LINKING LITERACY TO SOME OF THE MOST PRESSING ISSUES OF OUR TIME. TODAY, 130 MILLION AMERICANS -- 54% OF ADULTS BETWEEN THE AGES OF 16 AND 74 YEARS OLD -- LACK PROFICIENCY IN LITERACY. LOW LITERACY LIES AT THE CORE OF MULTIGENERATIONAL CYCLES OF POVERTY, POOR HEALTH, AND LOW EDUCATIONAL ATTAINMENT, PREVENTING MILLIONS OF ADULTS FROM FULLY ENGAGING IN SOCIETY AS PARENTS, WORKERS, AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS. NATIONWIDE, LOW-LITERATE ADULTS STRUGGLE TO EARN FAMILY-SUSTAINING WAGES, MANAGE THEIR FAMILY'S HEALTH, AND PARTICIPATE IN THE DEMOCRATIC PROCESS SIMPLY BECAUSE THEY LACK THE ABILITY TO READ, WRITE, AND COMPREHEND. ADULT LITERACY IS AN INTERSECTIONAL ISSUE THAT IS LINKED TO HIGHER EARNINGS IN THE LABOR MARKET, BETTER HEALTH, AND HIGHER LEVELS OF CIVIC ENGAGEMENT. ACCORDING TO A GALLUP STUDY COMMISSIONED BY THE BARBARA BUSH FOUNDATION, THE U.S. COULD BE LOSING $2.2 TRILLION -- OR 10% OF GDP -- ANNUALLY DUE TO LOW ADULT LITERACY RATES. INVESTING IN ADULT LITERACY IS ABSOLUTELY CRITICAL TO DISRUPT THE MULTIGENERATIONAL CYCLES OF POVERTY AND ITS IMPACTS. ADULT LITERACY IS CRUCIAL TO IMPROVING LIVES, FAMILIES, AND COMMUNITIES, WHILE STRENGTHENING OUR NATIONNOW AND FOR GENERATIONS TO COME. RESEARCH ALSO CONFIRMS BARBARA BUSH'S BELIEF THAT A HOLISTIC, FAMILY LITERACY-FOCUSED APPROACH -- WHICH ADDRESSES THE LITERACY NEEDS OF PARENTS/CAREGIVERS AS WELL AS CHILDREN -- IS NEEDED TO SOLVE THIS CHALLENGE. TO THAT END, OUR STRATEGY IS LARGELY FOCUSED ON BUILDING LITERACY SKILLS AMONG PARENTS AND CAREGIVERS, REACHING THIS POPULATION THROUGH TARGETED ADULT LITERACY RESOURCES, AS WELL AS THROUGH PARENT ENGAGEMENT COMPONENTS EMBEDDED IN OUR READING MENTORSHIP PROGRAMS. WE LEVERAGE OUR NATIONAL PLATFORM TO MOBILIZE THE FIELD AND PUBLIC TO CREATE LITERACY IMPACT FOR ADULT LEARNERS ESPECIALLY IN UNDER-RESOURCED COMMUNITIES AND COMMUNITIES OF COLOR -- WORKING AT THE GRASS TOPS IN SERVICE OF GRASSROOTS ORGANIZATIONS AND LEADING THE FIELD BY FOCUSING ON OUR UNIQUE ROLE: CATALYZE INNOVATIVE LITERACY SOLUTIONS TO BUILD CAPACITY TO REACH MORE LEARNERS CONVENE KEY ADULT LITERACY STAKEHOLDERS TO COLLABORATE RADICALLY FOR SYSTEMS CHANGE EDUCATE THE GENERAL PUBLIC TO BUILD AWARENESS AROUND THIS SILENT EQUITY CRISIS AND CREATE SOLUTIONS TOGETHER OUR WORK TO CATALYZE, CONVENE, AND EDUCATE IS LISTED IN OUR PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS.
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A, PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS:	CATALYZE WE INVEST IN INNOVATIVE PROGRAMS AND LITERACY RESOURCES TAILORED TO MEET LEARNERS WHERE THEY ARE. READING MENTORSHIP PROGRAMS RESEARCH SHOWS THAT THIRD-GRADE READING LEVELS ARE A KEY PREDICTOR OF CHILDREN'S FUTURE SUCCESS IN SCHOOL AND IN LIFE. CHILDREN WHO BUILD THE LITERACY SKILLS THEY NEED TO READ PROFICIENTLY BY THE END OF THIRD GRADE ARE FOUR TIMES MORE LIKELY TO GRADUATE FROM HIGH SCHOOL THAN THEIR PEERS WHO READ BELOW GRADE LEVEL. SINCE 2002, OUR READING MENTORING PROGRAMS HAVE HELPED YOUNG READERS IN GRADES 1-3 BUILD THE ESSENTIAL LITERACY SKILLS THAT THEY NEED TO MAKE THE CRITICAL TRANSITION FROM LEARNING TO READ TO READING TO LEARN. BOTH PROGRAMS ARE INFORMED BY THE SCIENCE OF READING, AND EMPLOY THE RESEARCH-PROVEN STRATEGY OF MENTORING TO IMPROVE OUTCOMES. DURING THE 2022-2023 ACADEMIC YEAR, OUR READING MENTORING PROGRAMS SERVED APPROXIMATELY 3,000 STUDENTS ACROSS MORE THAN 80 PROGRAMS IN SIX STATES (CONNECTICUT, FLORIDA, ILLINOIS, MAINE, OKLAHOMA, AND TEXAS). IN 2024, WE WILL EXPAND THESE PROGRAMS TO SERVE STUDENTS AND FAMILIES IN SOUTH CAROLINA, THANKS TO A NEWLY AWARDED INNOVATION GRANT FROM THE SOUTH CAROLINA STATE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION. READSQUAD OUR LONGEST-RUNNING READING MENTORING PROGRAM, READSQUAD, PAIRS TEEN MENTORS WITH STUDENTS IN FIRST, SECOND, AND THIRD GRADES WHO ARE, ON AVERAGE, FOUR MONTHS BEHIND IN READING. TEENS RECEIVE TRAINING AS READING MENTORS, AND MEET REGULARLY WITH THEIR MENTEES FOR 20 ONE-TO-ONE MENTORING SESSIONS, USING TARGETED STRATEGIES AND ACTIVITIES TO BOOST LITERACY SKILLS AND CONFIDENCE. EACH OF THE 16-20 BOOKS THAT CHILDREN READ WITH THEIR TEEN MENTOR IS ADDED TO THEIR HOME LIBRARIES, ACCOMPANIED BY A PARENT GUIDE, AVAILABLE IN ENGLISH AND SPANISH, THAT OFFERS PARENTS AND CAREGIVERS THE OPPORTUNITY TO TAKE AN ACTIVE ROLE IN THEIR CHILD'S LEARNING. READSQUAD CONTINUES TO ACHIEVE OUTSTANDING RESULTS. THE MOST RECENT INDEPENDENT EVALUATION SHOWED: -STUDENTS PARTICIPATING IN READSQUAD INCREASED THEIR READING SKILLS BY AN AVERAGE OF 1.28 GRADE LEVELS OVER THE SEVEN-MONTH PROGRAM (ESPECIALLY SUBSTANTIAL GIVEN THAT MENTEES BEGIN READING WELL BELOW GRADE LEVEL). -THIS TRANSLATES TO 64% MORE GROWTH THAN A TYPICAL STUDENT WOULD BE EXPECTED TO ACHIEVE IN AN ACADEMIC YEAR. -PARENTS AND CAREGIVERS OF PARTICIPATING STUDENTS SEE THE BENEFITS OF THE PROGRAM AS WELL, WITH 91% REPORTING THAT THEY WOULD RECOMMEND READSQUAD TO OTHER FAMILIES, AND 89% REPORTING THAT THEY READ READSQUAD BOOKS WITH THEIR CHILDREN AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK.

FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A, PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS:	BOOK EXPLORERS BOOK EXPLORERS, OUR NEWEST READING MENTORING PROGRAM, BUILDS ON THE SUCCESS OF READSQUAD TO HELP TARGET "SUMMER SLIDE OR COVID-19-RELATED LEARNING GAPS BY ALLOWING STUDENTS TO KEEP PROGRESSING YEAR-ROUND. LIKE READSQUAD, BOOK EXPLORERS PAIRS STUDENTS IN GRADES 1-3 WITH A READING MENTOR AND USES TARGETED STRATEGIES AND ACTIVITIES TO BUILD LITERACY SKILLS AND CONFIDENCE.

ALL 56 BOOK EXPLORERS PARENT GUIDES AND A COLLECTION OF SELECT BOOK TITLES ARE AVAILABLE IN SPANISH. DURING 2023, WE SIGNIFICANTLY ENHANCED PROGRAM DELIVERY BY RELEASING AN UPDATED VERSION OF OUR CUSTOM-BUILT DIGITAL LEARNING PLATFORM (DLP) THAT PROVIDES ACCESS TO BOOK EXPLORERS MATERIALS AND FACILITATES MENTORING SESSIONS. UPDATES TO THE PLATFORM WERE BASED ON USER FEEDBACK FROM PROGRAM ADVISORS, MENTORS, MENTEES, AND PARENTS, RESULTING IN AN IMPROVED USER EXPERIENCE, AND ALLOWING FOR INTEGRATED DATA COLLECTION. ADULT AND FAMILY LITERACY RESOURCES AS A LEADER IN THE ADULT LITERACY FIELD IN SERVICE OF GRASSROOTS ORGANIZATIONS, WE WORK TO EQUIP LOCAL LITERACY ORGANIZATIONS WITH RESOURCES, PROGRAMS, AND MATERIALS THAT HELP THEM ACHIEVE OPTIMAL IMPACT IN THEIR COMMUNITY. WHILE LITERACY RESOURCES ARE PLENTIFUL, MANY ARE OUTDATED OR NOT BUILT UPON CURRENT LEARNING PRACTICES AND EVIDENCE-BASED STRATEGIES. WE ARE COMMITTED TO COLLABORATING WITH PARTNERS TO ADDRESS NEEDS IN THE ADULT LITERACY FIELD, RATHER THAN DUPLICATE OR REPLICATE EXISTING RESOURCES. WE VET, ENDORSE, AND PROMOTE HIGH QUALITY ADULT LITERACY RESOURCES WHERE THEY EXIST, OR PARTNER WITH OTHER ORGANIZATIONS TO CREATE AND COMBINE NEW QUALITY RESOURCES AND PROGRAMS WHERE THERE ARE GAPS. WE DISTRIBUTE THESE RESOURCES AND PROGRAMS NATIONALLY TO GRASSROOTS ORGANIZATIONS AND PROVIDE TRAINING AND SUPPORT TO ENSURE THAT THEY DELIVER THE DESIRED IMPACT. DIGITAL LITERACY RESOURCES DIGITAL LITERACY - THE SKILLS NEEDED TO LIVE, LEARN, AND WORK IN TODAY'S INCREASINGLY INFORMATION AND TECHNOLOGY-DRIVEN SOCIETY - IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN EVER. FROM APPLYING FOR A JOB TO NAVIGATING A TELEHEALTH VISIT TO HELPING CHILDREN WITH HOMEWORK, WE RELY ON OUR DIGITAL SKILLS IN NEARLY EVERY ASPECT OF OUR DAILY LIVES. CURRENT RESEARCH SHOWS THAT 92% OF JOBS ACROSS INDUSTRIES IN THE U.S. LABOR MARKET REQUIRE DIGITAL SKILLS. HOWEVER, ONE-THIRD OF AMERICAN WORKERS CURRENTLY STRUGGLE TO PERFORM THEIR JOB EFFECTIVELY DUE TO LIMITED DIGITAL PROBLEM-SOLVING SKILLS. TO HELP BRIDGE THIS GAP, WE CONTINUE TO TRAIN EDUCATORS AND MENTORS NATIONWIDE ON THE USE OF PROMOTING DIGITAL LITERACY FOR ADULT LEARNERS, OUR RESOURCE GUIDE DEVELOPED IN PARTNERSHIP WITH DIGITAL PROMISE. THIS PEER-REVIEWED GUIDE WAS DEVELOPED TO SUPPORT EDUCATORS, LIBRARY STAFF, TUTORS, AND MENTORS WHO ARE WORKING WITH ADULT LEARNERS ON BUILDING LITERACY SKILLS. HIGHLIGHTS OF THIS WORK INCLUDE: -A PARTNERSHIP WITH AT&T (BBF CORPORATE ADVISORY COUNCIL MEMBER) AND THE PUBLIC LIBRARY ASSOCIATION TO SUPPORT ADULT LEARNERS AT SIX PILOT SITES IN ARKANSAS, GEORGIA, KENTUCKY, MICHIGAN, NEW MEXICO, AND SOUTH CAROLINA IN DIGITAL LITERACY SKILL BUILDING FOR PERSONAL AND CAREER GOALS, AS WELL AS TO COLLECT DATA ON THE EFFICACY OF THE PROGRAM -A PARTNERSHIP WITH INTEL (ANOTHER BBF CORPORATE ADVISORY COUNCIL MEMBER) AS PART OF THE N50 INITIATIVE TO DEVELOP A USABILITY STUDY AROUND DIGITAL LITERACY SKILL BUILDING AT LONE PINE PAIUTE RESERVATION IN THE EASTERN SIERRA REGION OF CALIFORNIA.

FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4C , PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS:	EDUCATE WE PLAY AN ACTIVE ROLE IN ADVANCING THE NATIONAL CONVERSATION ON LITERACY -- BOTH WITHIN AND BEYOND THE FIELD -- BY INVESTING IN RESEARCH AND EDUCATION INITIATIVES. LITERACY EQUITY INSIGHTS DASHBOARD THANKS TO GENEROUS FUNDING FROM SCHMIDT FUTURES, WE ARE WORKING IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS CHICAGO AND INNOVARE TO REINCUBATE THE LITERACY EQUITY INSIGHTS PROJECT -- A PLATFORM THAT ASSESSES LOCALIZED DISPARITIES IN ACCESS TO LITERACY SERVICES. ORIGINALLY DEVELOPED WITHIN THE LITERACY SERVICES SECTOR IN CHICAGO, LEI PROVIDES INSIGHTS INTO THE LANDSCAPE OF LITERACY ACCESS WITH A DATA-INFORMED, ASSET-BASED, AND EQUITY FOCUSED LENS. WITH A FORMULA BASED IN EXTENSIVE SOCIAL SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH, THE TOOL PROVIDES A WAY OF UNDERSTANDING COMMUNITY STRENGTHS AND CHALLENGES REGARDING ACCESS TO EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITY, AND DEPICTS THE DEPLOYMENT OF LITERACY SERVICES AND OTHER INSTITUTIONS WITHIN THAT LANDSCAPE. THE PROJECT ADDRESSES TWO DISTINCT BUT RELATED PROBLEMS: -LITERACY SERVICES ORGANIZATIONS WORKING ACROSS THE NATION, OFTEN WITH TIGHT BUDGETS AND A NARROW FOCUS AREA, ARE OFTEN NOT AFFORDED WITH "PERIPHERAL VISION" TO BETTER UNDERSTAND AND COORDINATE WITH OTHER PROGRAMS ACROSS THE SECTOR. -FUNDERS LACK A DATA-DRIVEN, CONSISTENT WAY TO UNDERSTAND WHERE TO DEPLOY LITERACY SERVICES AND SUPPORTS. ONLY USING ACHIEVEMENT-BASED DATA-COLLECTION (E.G., TEST SCORES) TO DEPLOY SUPPORTS IS DIFFICULT SINCE THOSE DATA POINTS ARE NOT REGULARLY UPDATED. THE LEI DASHBOARD ADDRESSES THESE CHALLENGES BY VISUALIZING DATA OVERLAID WITH "ACCESS SCORES," A WEIGHTED FORMULA OF REGULARLY REFRESHED SOCIOECONOMIC INDICATORS SUCH AS EMPLOYMENT RATES, HOUSEHOLD INCOME, AND EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION OFFERINGS, SHOWN BY SOCIAL SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH TO BE CORRELATED WITH LOW LITERACY. THE DASHBOARD WILL ENABLE PRACTITIONERS AND FUNDERS TO VISUALIZE GAPS AND MAP OUT OPPORTUNITIES FOR ADDITIONAL SUPPORT, AND CAN BE USED TO INFORM ADVOCACY, FIELD BUILDING, AND DECISION MAKING EFFORTS TO IMPROVE LITERACY SERVICE OFFERINGS AND DELIVERY IN REGIONAL COMMUNITIES NATIONWIDE. WHILE THIS TOOL IS CURRENTLY BEING DEPLOYED IN CHICAGO, WE HOPE THAT OVER TIME IT CAN BE EXPANDED TO PROVIDE A NATIONWIDE PICTURE OF LITERACY ACCESS, HELPING TO DRIVE IMPORTANT CONVERSATIONS ABOUT EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITY. WE ALSO SEEK TO PARTNER WITH OTHER COMMUNITIES TO HELP IMPROVE DEPLOYMENT AND COORDINATION AT THE LOCAL LEVEL. EDTECH RESEARCH WE CONTINUE TO EXPLORE THE POTENTIAL FOR ADVANCEMENTS IN EDTECH TO BROADEN ACCESS TO LITERACY RESOURCES. DR. STEPHANIE MOORE, ASSISTANT PROFESSOR FOR ORGANIZATION, INFORMATION, AND LEARNING SCIENCES AT THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW MEXICO (AND FORMER DOLLAR GENERAL BARBARA BUSH FELLOW) PUBLISHED TWO KEY PIECES OF RESEARCH IN 2023: -A FINAL REPORT AND RECOMMENDATIONS ON THE DEPLOYMENT OF EYE TRACKING AND MIXED REALITY TECHNOLOGIES IN ADULT LITERACY SETTINGS -- DR. MOORE CONDUCTED FIELD TESTS AT FOUR ADULT LEARNING SITES IN NEW MEXICO TO EVALUATE THE USE OF THE MICROSOFT HOLOLENS MIXED REALITY HEADSET IN CONCERT WITH SPHEREGEN'S VEYEZER GRAPH EYE TRACKING TECHNOLOGY AS AN ASSESSMENT TOOL TO HELP PROVIDERS IDENTIFY LITERACY ISSUES. THE EVALUATION DETERMINED THAT THE TECHNOLOGY SHOWS PROMISE AS A USEFUL ADDITION TO THE TOOLSETS OF ADULT LITERACY PROGRAMS AND EDUCATORS, AND PROVIDED CRUCIAL FEEDBACK FOR FUTURE PROCESS AND TECHNOLOGY REFINEMENT. -LEARNING TECHNOLOGIES FOR ADULT LITERACY: STATE OF THE RESEARCH AND OPPORTUNITIES THIS LANDSCAPE ANALYSIS EXAMINED THE APPLICATION OF EDTECH WITHIN ADULT LITERACY, HIGHLIGHTING THE NEED FOR TECHNOLOGIES THAT 1) ARE AUTHENTICALLY USED IN ADULT LEARNERS' DAY-TO-DAY LIVES, 2) AFFORD FLEXIBILITY AND AUTONOMY FOR ADULT LEARNERS, 3) ARE INTEGRATED WITH -- RATHER THAN REPLACE -- IN-PERSON LEARNING, AND 4) ARE DESIGNED TO FEATURE PRACTICE AND FEEDBACK, SITUATED LEARNING, AND DIRECT INSTRUCTION. TECHNOLOGY ADVISORY COUNCIL THROUGHOUT 2023, WE CONTINUED TO LEVERAGE THE EXPERTISE OF OUR TECHNOLOGY ADVISORY COUNCIL, A DIVERSE GROUP OF INNOVATORS THAT INCLUDES SILICON VALLEY LEADERS, VENTURE CAPITALISTS, INDUSTRY TRAILBLAZERS, AND SOME OF THE NATION'S TOP PHILANTHROPIES AND NONPROFITS. BY PROVIDING COUNSEL ON STRATEGIC EDTECH INVESTMENTS FOCUSED ON LOWERING BARRIERS TO ACCESS, THE COUNCIL PROVIDES CRITICAL INPUT THAT WILL HELP SHAPE THE TRAJECTORY OF NOT JUST OUR WORK, BUT THE ENTIRE LITERACY FIELD IN THE YEARS TO COME. EDUCATION AND OUTREACH WE ACTIVELY ENGAGE IN THE NATIONAL CONVERSATION AROUND LITERACY, PARTICIPATING IN KEY GATHERINGS BOTH INSIDE AND OUTSIDE OF THE FIELD. DURING 2023, OUR TEAM PRESENTED AT CONVENINGS HOSTED BY THE AMERICAN TELEMEDICINE ASSOCIATION, COALITION ON ADULT BASIC EDUCATION (COABE), MAINE ADULT EDUCATION ASSOCIATION, NATIONAL CENTER FOR FAMILIES LEARNING, AND PROLITERACY.

BBF AMBASSADOR GERI HALLIWELL-HORNER IN FALL 2023, WE ANNOUNCED A NEW PARTNERSHIP WITH AUTHOR, ENTERTAINER, AND PHILANTHROPIST GERI HALLIWELL-HORNER.

TO SUPPORT THE LAUNCH OF "ROSIE FROST & THE FALCON QUEEN", OUR TEAM OF FAMILY LITERACY EXPERTS PARTNERED WITH PENGUIN RANDOM HOUSE TO CREATE AN ONLINE FAMILY RESOURCE GUIDE TO ACCOMPANY THE BOOK. THE GUIDE, WHICH IS AVAILABLE IN ENGLISH AND SPANISH, INCLUDES ACTIVITIES AND CONVERSATION STARTERS THAT PARENTS AND CAREGIVERS CAN USE TO EXPLORE ROSIE FROST ALONG WITH THEIR CHILDREN, DEEPENING THEIR ENGAGEMENT WITH THE BOOK'S SUBJECT MATTER AND SUPPORTING THEIR DEVELOPMENT AS READERS.
