Making Books Part of a Healthy Childhood
Reach Out and Read South Carolina is part of the nationwide Reach Out and Read organization.Reach Out and Read - South Carolina
Reach Out and Read makes literacy promotion a standard part of pediatric primary care, so that children grow up with books and a love of reading.
Reach Out and Read trains doctors and nurses to advise parents about the importance of reading aloud and to give books to children at pediatric checkups from 6 months through 5 years of age, with a special focus on children growing up in poverty. 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.
Each year Reach Out and Read South Carolina provides over 170,000 books to children at over 120 clinics in South Carolina! Over 60% of the SC Medicaid population is currently being served by a ROR program.
