QueensCare Family Clinics participates in the Reach Out and Read program, promoting early literacy and school readiness in pediatric exam rooms by giving new books to children and advice to parents about the importance of reading aloud. By building on the unique relationship between parents and medical providers, Reach Out and Read helps families and communities encourage early literacy skills so children enter school prepared for success in reading.

Did you know that:

• 35% of American children entering kindergarten today lack the basic language skills they will need to learn to read.
• Fewer than half of parents (48%) in the United States read to their young children daily.

The Reach Out and Read Model

• In the exam room, doctors and nurses trained in the developmental strategies of early literacy encourage parents to read aloud to their young children, and offer age-appropriate tips.
• The pediatric primary care provider gives every child between the ages of 6 months and 5 years new, developmentally appropriate children’s book to take home and keep.
• In the waiting room, displays, information and gently used books create a literacy rich environment. Where possible, volunteer readers entertain the children, modeling for the parent the pleasures and techniques of reading aloud.
