With 112 program sites across the state, we serve children across urban, suburban, and rural communities.
We add new sites every month, delivering significant benefits to even more children and families.

When Reach Out and Read is part of a routine well-child visit, appointments are more engaging, meaningful, and conversational.

Thanks to our program, clinicians have natural opportunities to speak with the patient and family and observe their behaviors and reactions. When given a book, does the baby put it in their mouth? Does the child hold it right-side up? Does the parent engage with the child around the book and show interest? In these moments, providers can learn about developmental milestones and the child/caregiver relationship through the simple act of spending time with the family. These organic moments put patients and families at ease, making them more willing to share their experiences and more receptive to receiving new information.

When the relationship between a clinician and family is strengthened thanks to Reach Out and Read, it’s easier to build trust, share critical information, and work as a team to ensure the child can thrive.

Integrated with pediatric care

Reach Out and Read clinicians provide families with a new, developmentally appropriate book during each well-child visit from birth to age 5. By the time a child reaches their fifth birthday, they will have more than a dozen books.

During these visits, clinicians talk with parents about the benefits of reading aloud and provide advice for engaging infants, toddlers, and preschoolers with the books.

Clinicians also use the book to assess children’s developmental milestones, like responding to a caregiver’s voice, tracking with their eyes, turning pages, repeating rhymes, and forming sentences.
