BISMARK, ND — October 17, 2025 — Waterford.org was proud to join the North Dakota Department of Public Instruction and the Department of Health and Human Services at the State Capitol for the official launch of The Legendary Family Learning Guide: Building Literacy Skills, the first title in the Be Legendary Books series.
The event welcomed families, educators, and librarians from across the state to participate in story time, hands-on literacy activities, and a first look at this innovative new resource. Designed for families with children from birth through kindergarten, the guide combines a storybook with a parent toolkit to promote early literacy through everyday moments of talking, reading, playing, and exploring.
Developed in partnership with MABU and funded by the Comprehensive Literacy State Development Grant, the guide aims to empower caregivers to foster strong literacy skills from the start.
Waterford.org is honored to support partners dedicated to building strong literacy foundations for all children.
