Reach Out and Read (ROR) is a program that promotes
early literacy by bringing new books and advice about
the importance of reading aloud into the pediatric exam
room.
 We
are proud to be a part of a program where doctors and
nurses give new books to children at each well child
visit from 6 months of age to 5 years, and accompany
these books with developmentally appropriate advice
to parents about reading aloud with their child.
The ROR program model is based on research that shows
a connection between the frequency of sharing books
with babies, toddlers and young children and enhanced
language development.
