Reach Out and Read is a nonprofit organization that promotes early literacy by providing books to children during pediatric check-ups. The program encourages parents to read aloud to their children, fostering a love for reading from a young age. Through partnerships with healthcare providers, Reach Out and Read distributes age-appropriate books to children from birth to age five. This initiative aims to improve language skills and prepare children for success in school, ultimately helping to close the literacy gap in underserved communities.
