The Reading2Connect Care Partner Program
(for care partners of individuals living with dementia)
Enhancing Social-Emotional Wellbeing with Age/Dementia Friendly Books
1
A Program Derived from Evidence-Based Research
Senior care often overlooks the preserved reading abilities of long-term care residents.
Reading2Connect® is grounded in the proven belief that most people living with dementia retain functional reading skills.
The Care Partner Program taps into older adults’ lifelong connection to books, enriching their intellectual, emotional, and social wellbeing.
Each Care Partner receives:
-
30-minute online training
-
3 print books of their choice
-
3 Video Books of their choice
2
Age Appropriate and Dementia Appropriate Books
Reading2Connect® books are thoughtfully designed for readability and ease of use, while preserving the integrity of adult literature.
Modified text and rich illustrations allow most older adults to read and engage independently.
Topics range from popular—like pets, sports, and gardening—to culturally specific themes such as Civil Rights, the Korean War, Judaism, and the Japanese American story.
The books provide a visual scaffolding that supports memory, self-expression, and meaningful social connection.
