Reading Across the Nation: A Chartbook

For a third consecutive year ROR has received the highest ranking from Charity Navigator, the only pediatric literacy organization awarded.

Reach Out and Read (ROR) is a national non-profit organization that promotes early literacy by giving new books to children and advice to parents about the importance of reading aloud in pediatric exam rooms across the nation.

Doctors and nurses know that growing up healthy means growing up with books. The ROR program provides the tools to help promote children's developmental skills and later school success.
