Reading2Connect is revolutionizing the Way People Living with Dementia Engage with Literature and Each Other. Drawing on a decade of nationwide experience, Reading2Connect is an award-winning evidenced-based initiative designed for community-based organizations such as Adult Day Services.
The Reading2Connect® Program offers ADS:
Our books are adapted with highly readable text and abundant illustrations yet retain the integrity of adult literature. Diverse topics and multiple languages celebrate diverse life experiences. Our training demonstrates how to use the books in a myriad of ways to enable adults living with aging challenges to engage independently in reading groups. In a Reading2Connect group, members independently read to each other, share insights, help each other, learn things, and laugh, all without the direction of a staff person! Goodbye, social isolation!
