I am so thankful for a program like Reach Out and Read that exists to bring opportunity to children. Reading is a treasure and having books to give families without enough money to purchase their groceries let alone books, is a gift.

Many clinicians also said that they use Reach Out and Read as a tool for developmental surveillance and to assess parent-child interactions; family dynamics; the home reading environment; and developmental, motor, and speech delays.

When Coy was little he dreamed of becoming a doctor so he was excited to network with affiliate leaders across the country and express his commitment to supporting our work.

One of our newest publishing partners, Workman Publishing, donated 10,000 GOOD AND CHEAP cookbooks to Reach Out and Read Georgia from author, Leanne Brown.

The number one word our pediatricians use to describe their participation in our program is joy.
