Reach Out and Read

Read to your child every day.

The Reach Out and Read program shows parents how much reading to their kids can help them learn.

Reach Out and Read

Sure, it’s just a bedtime story or reading from a book at the kitchen table. However you do it, reading to children for just 20 minutes a day helps their language skills and ensures that they’ll do better in school. Reach Out and Read encourages parents to read to their kids for the sake of improving children’s skills and sharing fun family time together. Children from 6 months to 5 years old receive a book at their well-child check.
