"We will only succeed if we rally the industry, if we plant our seed in the minds and hearts of magazine stakeholders, and if we join together to tell our story to consumers and literacy agents."
-- John Mennell, Founding Director
Engagement and support from every corner of the magazine publishing industry is needed to unleash the awesome potential of magazines as a powerful literacy resource for kids, families, teachers, and other community literacy agents.

Our programs are organized by the Magazine Publishers Family Literacy Project, a 501(c)(3) charitable organization.

Our Literacy Programs
Magazine Mentors
Magazine Mentors are businesses, groups, and individuals who sponsor magazines that are bulk shipped to help kids in schools, homeless and domestic violence shelters, and other literacy programs in their own communities.
Kid's Magazine Airlift
The Kids Magazine Airlift works like a holiday food drive at a grocery store, but feeds kids hungry to read. Consumers shopping for gift magazine subscriptions at publisher web sites for their own children can also purchase a gift that will be sent to help other children. MagazineLiteracy.org matches the much-needed gift subscriptions to schools, shelters and other community literacy programs that serve children and families in need.
KinderHarvest
KinderHarvest addresses both environmental and literacy concerns by recycling magazines for reading programs serving at-risk children and families. KinderHarvest works like a holiday food drive, but feeds hungry readers. The program rescues surplus magazines from supply chain stakeholders, end to end - Publishers, National Distributors, Wholesalers, Retail Newsstands, and Consumers - that would otherwise be discarded and destroyed and distributes them to after-school programs, food pantries, homeless and domestic violence shelters, disaster relief programs, and other community literacy efforts. These publications are given to children and families faced with the most serious types of economic distress who are not able to receive them via traditional consumer channels. Publishers and distributors provide information on available or predictable surplus issues and MagazineLiteracy.org matches the magazines to specific charitable needs. Industry shipping or pick-up by local volunteers expedites the relief.
Reading is Fashionable
Reading is Fashionable is a campaign to engage the fashion and style industries to help promote and spread the joy of reading to children and families. To be successful our project must reach out across every sector of the general public and our culture. Reading is Fashionable helps us to demonstrate the value of focused attention within individual sectors of our culture and inspires like initiatives across a vast and diverse landscape of people, geography and interests.
Children's Magazine Month - October
Children’s Magazine Month is a nationwide literacy initiative in October each year, founded by the Association of Educational Publishers, intended to spotlight children's magazines as a valuable literacy resource for teachers, librarians, children, parents, and other literacy agents. Children's Magazine Month is co-managed by MagazineLiteracy.org with support from the International Reading Association and other stakeholders.
