About Reach Out and Read Rhode Island
Reach Out and Read RI began in 1999 with four sites. Today the 41 sites of the Coalition include virtually all health centers and pediatric clinics in the state as well as a growing number of private practices. A generous matching book grant from Reading Is Fundamental has allowed the RORRI Coalition to provide all books free of charge to sites serving primarily low income families. The long term goal of ROR is books and literacy guidance to become part of the routine practice of pediatric primary care.
