Reach Out & Read Program

At the Campbell County Medical Group Pediatrics Clinic, we want your child to be healthy and stay healthy throughout their lifetime. This includes developmental health such as reading literacy. One way we do this is by participating in the Reach Out & Read program.

 

Reach Out and Read provides children from 6 months up to 5 years the opportunity to receive a book at each one of their Well Child Checks.

 

This program allows us to deliver vital information about the importance of reading at routine pediatric checkups. This means your child will read and receive books from birth to age five- a period of critical brain development.

 

We know that you place your trust in our team, and during well visits, we can discuss the benefits of reading aloud. We can share how to hold books to best engage your child, and how to interact with the text and images to help them follow along. We share advice for talking about stories with infants, toddlers, and preschoolers. You will feel supported and gain a deeper understanding of why you should make reading a daily habit with your child.

 

Book your child's next well visit today by calling us at 307-688-3636.
