PRESCRIBE A BOOK.
Reading is Doctor-Recommended.
Since 1989, Reach Out and Read's
doctors have been prescribing books
to children during well-child visits and
teaching parents the value of reading
aloud to their children.
The payoff: The children we serve are
better prepared to read and learn when
they start kindergarten than their
non-participating peers.
Visit reachoutandread.org/connecticut to
learn how you can help us prescribe
opportunity to Connecticut's children,
one book at a time.
