"You know, we have been working very hard to carry forth her legacy and realize her vision for empowering more people to learn how to read."
Reading for Barbara - Virtual Reading Log

HOUSTON — Barbara Bush championed literacy. It was her lifelong mission to introduce the power and joy of reading to as many people as possible.

As part of our promise to Stand for Houston, we’re Standing for Barbara and continuing her legacy. If you’d like to join us, tell us what you’re reading in our Virtual Reading Log by filling out the form below. We’ll keep a running log of hours of books read as we champion literacy in her memory.

“If we don’t give everyone the ability to simply read and write, we aren’t giving everyone a chance to succeed,” she once said. “If you help a person to read, then their opportunities in life will be endless.”

Grandson Jeb Bush Jr. suggested Wednesday the best way to honor his grandmother would be to pick up a book.

If you decide to accept his challenge, we'd love to know what books you're reading in honor of Mrs. Bush's memory. We've created a virtual reading log to help you keep track.
