We love seeing students add their own flair to their Always Reading tablets 😍 What might look like just a collection of stickers, to us, is a reflection of their personality, confidence, and sense of ownership.

When students can personalize the tools they use every day, those tools become part of their story. That's exactly what we hope for!

This June, students in our Always Reading program are taking on a challenge: read 30 books in 30 days ☀️📚

This is because reading routines matter...especially over summer break. When reading continues through the summer, children return to school more confident, prepared, and ready to keep learning.

Through our program, families keep access to books and digital reading tools all summer long, helping children continue the progress they worked hard to build during the school year.

Right now, you can help make that possible. Thanks to a generous $60,000 matching grant from the Quest Foundation, every donation will be doubled through June 30th.

30 Years of Stories That Inspire: A Golden Partnership with

We love a win-win situation and that’s exactly what our partnership with Aloha Shoyu has been over the years. When we first expanded to Hawai‘i in the early 2000s, Aloha Shoyu asked Kristi to help launch their Aloha Gold! product. As part of this partnership, a percentage of sales benefited Always Dream. To this day, Aloha Shoyu continues to be a steadfast partner. Mahalo nui loa for all of your support over the years, !

DID YOU KNOW? Nearly 60% of families experiencing poverty have no children’s books in the home. When school ends, that lack of book access can lead to the “summer slide." This is a loss of the reading skills, routine, and confidence children worked hard to build during the school year.

In our Always Reading program, we partner with families by providing books, digital reading tools, and support that helps make reading part of everyday life, even through the summer months.

When you give to Always Dream, you help protect students' progress through the summer. Make a gift today and your donation will be doubled by the Quest Foundation --> give.classy.org/summerreading

Take a look at this proud group of pre-K students from Pāhoa Elementary showing off their Always Reading completion certificates!

We first introduced Always Reading to pre-K and TK students during the 2021–22 school year, and it’s been inspiring to see the program continue to grow each year. These soon-to-be kindergarteners and their families will have the opportunity to continue their reading journey with us next year at Pāhoa.

We’re excited to spend another year fostering a love of reading and helping set these young learners up for success as they begin their educational journey.

We’re still basking in the glow of this unforgettable night 💫 🌺

Our hearts are full after celebrating the 30th Anniversary Hawaiʻi Dream Gala with this incredible community. Mahalo nui loa to everyone who joined us and helped raise over $309,000 to support our Always Reading program in Hawaiʻi.

Because of this generosity, more keiki and families across the islands will have access to books and early literacy support, creating impact that will last for years to come.

Thank you for making this milestone celebration so meaningful and filled with aloha. We’re already counting down to next year.

Books and digital tools matter, but relationships are what help reading routines stick. Our Book Coaches work alongside families throughout the school year, helping turn everyday reading into a lasting habit. They are one of the most important investments we make in our program because we know families thrive when they feel supported.

When you donate to Always Dream, you help ensure families continue receiving this critical support.
