Reach Out and Read Colorado
Mission Statement
Reach Out and Read Colorado is an evidence-based nonprofit that gives young children a foundation for success by incorporating books into pediatric care and encouraging families to read aloud together.
Reach Out and Read Colorado partners with healthcare providers to prescribe a developmentally- and language-appropriate book and talk with parents and caregivers about the importance of reading aloud at well-child visits from birth to 5 years of age, with a special focus on children growing up in poverty. By building on the unique, trusted relationship between parents and healthcare providers, Reach Out and Read Colorado helps families and communities encourage early literacy skills so children can begin school prepared for success. Children served by Reach Out and Read enter kindergarten with larger vocabularies, stronger language skills, healthier relationships, and a three- to six-month developmental edge.

“Thank you for allowing our children to benefit from the Reach Out and Read program. Many of our patients are living in poverty and parents may not be able to afford to buy developmentally-appropriate books to read with their kids at home. These kids light up when we give them the books — their smile says it all!”
