Reach Out and Read was pleased to welcome Washington State Senator Claire Wilson, longtime champion of children and families to Pediatrics Northwest, Federal Way on Wednesday September 10. Senator Wilson saw first-hand how clinicians and families coming together over shared reading sparks healthy relationships and early literacy in a two-generation approach.
Reach Out and Read provides a framework and evidence based model for clinicians to offer bridges of hope and help to families that may have no other way to connect to community services and early childhood literacy supports. The dedicated team at Pediatrics Northwest has been making Reach Out and Read a part of their medical practice for nearly 25 years.
Thank you to Senator Wilson, Pediatrics Northwest, and the families that made this inspiring morning possible.
