Reach Out and Read, Inc. is a nonprofit, tax exempt organization whose mission is to prepare America's youngest children to succeed in school by partnering with doctors to prescribe books and encourage families to read together. Doctors, nurse practitioners, and other medical professionals incorporate Reach Out and Read's evidence-based model into regular pediatric checkups, by advising parents about the importance of reading aloud and giving developmentally-appropriate books to children. The program begins at the 6-month checkup and continues through age 5, with a special emphasis on children growing up in low-income communities. Families served by Reach Out and Read read together more often, and their children enter kindergarten with larger vocabularies, stronger language skills, and a six-month developmental edge.

Your gift is very much appreciated. Contributions to Reach Out and Read are tax-deductible to the fullest extent of the law. Reach Out and Read's National Center is located at 56 Roland Street, Suite 100D, Boston, MA 02129-1243.
