Childhood Literacy
Reach Out and Read
Reach Out and Read integrates reading into pediatric care to help families build meaningful bonds and promote healthy brain development. Books are given to children during their Well-Child Visits starting at 6 months old until the age of five. Reading to children can positively impact their language and listening skills while nurturing their curiosity and memory.
