Program Components:

  • Doctors and nurse practitioners are trained to give advice to parents about appropriate books and reading activities that support their child's healthy development.
  • Children get to take home a free, new, developmentally appropriate book at every check-up from birth to five years.
  • Trained volunteers read aloud to children in waiting rooms, modeling for parents how to share books and tell stories, and engage families in waiting room activities surrounding books and reading.
