Reach Out and Read Georgia

Reading with your children promotes healthy brain development, furthers language acquisition, and helps families build meaningful bonds. Reach Out and Read serves 4.4 million children each year, but our vision is even bigger: a world where every child has the relationships and resources to learn and thrive. #ReachOutAndRead #ReachOutAndReadGA #EarlyLiteracy #Pediatrics #Education #MakingMomentsMatter #Nonprofit #Give #Donate #Books #BuildingConnectionsBeginsatBirth

Yes, Reach Out and Read provides books to families who might not otherwise have them — but that’s only the beginning of our story. Last year, our clinicians shared more than 7.1 million books with young children nationwide. Paired with those books, more importantly, was guidance to caregivers about the lifelong benefits of shared reading. Clinicians talk with parents about how to use a book to engage with their child, about early literacy and language skills, and the lifelong bonds that are built when they snuggle up and read together. Shared reading sets the stage for a happy, healthy child, building crucial relationships and skills for school and beyond. National Literacy Month is the perfect time to reflect on the importance and impact of literacy in the life of a child — and in the life of the adult they’ll become. It all starts with a book. #NationalLiteracyMonth #ReachOutandRead #SharedReading #HealthyEarlyRelationships #EarlyLiteracy #FamilyBonds #ReadWithYourKids #Literacy #Reading #SharedReading #SharedPower #MomentsThatMatter
