Reach Out and Read

What is Reach Out and Read?

Reach Out and Read is a national pediatric early literacy program that prepares America's youngest children to succeed in school by partnering with doctors to prescribe books and encourage families to read together. Doctors and nurses are trained to advise parents about the importance of reading aloud and to give new books to children at pediatric well child visits from 6 months through 5 years of age, with a special focus on children growing up in poverty and medically underserved areas.

The Reach Out and Read Model

  • Educate parents. In the exam room at each of our pediatric clinics, the pediatrician or nurse practitioner encourages parents to read aloud to their young children and offers age-appropriate tips.
  • Gift children with free books. At well-child visits, the pediatrician or nurse practitioner gives every child 6 months through 5 years of age a new, developmentally and culturally-appropriate children's book to take home and keep.
  • Volunteers make reading fun! In the waiting room, displays and gently-used books create a literacy-rich environment. Volunteer readers engage the children with books, modeling for the parents the pleasures and techniques of reading aloud.

The Reach Out and Read Program at TCC occurs at: S. Mark Taper Foundation, Vasek Polak, Cesar Chavez Elementary School, and Hamilton Middle School.
