 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.
