Reach Out and Read is an evidence-based nonprofit organization founded in 1989 with the slogan "A world where every child is read to every day." The organization operates in the Education sector and is headquartered in the United States.
Reach Out and Read focuses on promoting early literacy and school readiness in pediatric exam rooms nationwide. They achieve this by providing new books to children and offering advice to parents about the importance of reading aloud. The organization leverages the unique relationship between parents and medical providers to develop critical early reading skills in children, beginning at 6 months of age. Annually, Reach Out and Read serves more than 4 million children and their families, encouraging them to read together more frequently. As a result, their children enter kindergarten better prepared to succeed, with larger vocabularies and stronger language skills.
Studies have shown that children served by Reach Out and Read score three to six months ahead of their non-Reach Out and Read peers on vocabulary tests during the preschool years. These early foundational language skills help set children on a path of success when they enter school.
The latest investment in Reach Out and Read was a $25.00K Grant investment received on 02 June 2022 from Qlarant.
