Special Programs
Reach Out and Read
Reach Out and Read gives young children a foundation for success by incorporating
books into pediatric care and encouraging families to read aloud together.
At more than 10 routine health checkups from infancy through 5 years, Reach Out and Read-trained providers:
- Talk with parents about how important it is to read aloud and engage with their young children
- Demonstrate how best to look at books and talk about the stories with their infants, toddlers and preschoolers
- Encourage them to cuddle up and read together at home and build routines around books
- And then give a new book to the child to take home and keep
At the end of the program, every child has a home-library of books, each given with the advice to parents that they are their child's first and most important teacher. Our program is grant funded. Call our office for details on how to participate.
