Reach Out and Read for Providers
 
Starting a Reach Out and Read Program

Thank you so much for your interest in Reach Out and Read! We are a national, nonprofit organization that promotes early literacy and school readiness by making books and reading aloud a standard part of pediatric primary care. We believe that every healthy childhood should include books and reading, and we believe that pediatric healthcare providers have a unique opportunity to deliver that message to families. Reach Out and Read's evidence-based model is supported by 14 peer-reviewed, published research studies.

"Our practice located in a rural area of Virginia serves a diverse demographic population. We do however have a large number of children who come from families who may not be able to afford books for their children. It is great to see even the youngest patient's eyes light up when they receive their "checkup book". This helps us to then discuss the importance of reading and its relationship to development. Thank you to Reach out and Read for helping us to better serve our patients."
