WFMC participates in the Reach out and Read® program, which aims to promote early literacy and school readiness for pediatric patients.
During well-child checks, our providers advise parents to read aloud to their children, provide helpful tips to encourage early literacy, and provide age and language appropriate books for children between the ages of zero and five years at each well child appointment. Reach out and Read® also helps children become more comfortable with well-child checks and incorporates literacy promotion into pediatric primary care.
