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.
