About Reach Out and Read Iowa

ROR-Iowa, Iowa's Reach Out and Read Coalition, was launched in the spring of 2006, with 12 ROR sites throughout the state. Our goal is to double that by the end of the year. We are dedicated to promoting literacy as a standard part of pediatric care, with the goal of helping all children grow up with books and a love for reading. Reach Out and Read trains medical providers to integrate literacy into well-child visits by giving new, age- and culturally-appropriate books to children between the ages of 6 months to 5 years, and counseling parents about the importance of sharing books together and reading aloud. Fostering emerging literacy skills helps children enter school with a love for reading and ready to learn.
