DescUnited Through Reading offers military service members the opportunity to be video-recorded reading books to their children, and then the books and videos are delivered to the children so that they can follow along as their loved ones read their favorite story. United Through Reading also promotes literacy by providing books to military children both directly and through partnerships with like minded organizations. This program creates and strengthens emotional connections between parents and their children, encourages literacy and makes homecoming easier. According to surveys, 93% of participants report a decrease in their childrens anxiety during deployment and 78% of service member participants report a reduction in their own stress during deployment.Desc
