Reach Out and Read Northwest partners directly with 3300 pediatric clinicians in 399 program sites across Oregon and Washington states to support early literacy and healthy relationships through parent-child shared reading.

Nearly 200,000 children received 419,000 well-child visits integrating the Reach Out and Read model. Over 350,000 books were placed into the hands of young children and their families, along with modeling and guidance from pediatric clinicians on what to expect and how best to support their child’s developing literacy.

Our evidence-based model is backed by a large and growing body of academic research and is the only literacy model endorsed by the American Academy of Pediatrics. Learn more about Reach Out and Reach in Oregon and in Washington.
