Reach Out and Read

Our Mission...

Reach Out and Read makes literacy promotion a standard part of pediatric primary care so that children grow up with books and a love of reading.

Our Model...

In the exam room, trained doctors and nurses talk to parents about the importance of reading aloud.

At each check-up from 6 months to 5 years, the child receives a new book to take home.

Clinic waiting rooms are transformed into literacy-rich areas with volunteer readers modeling techniques of reading aloud.

Reach Out and Read make literacy promotion a standard part of pediatric primary care, so that children grow up with books and a love of reading.  Reach Out and Read trains doctors and nurses to advise parents about the importance of reading aloud and to give books to children at pediatric check ups from 6 months to five years of age, with special focus on children growing up in poverty.  By building on the unique relationship between parents and medical providers, Reach Out and Read helps families and communities encourage early literacy skills so children enter school prepared for success in reading.
