Home
Reach Out and Read Arkansas is a non-profit organization
dedicated to increasing awareness of the importance of early
literacy intervention and the critical role it plays in a
child’s development.
We train doctors and nurses to advise parents about the
importance of reading aloud and to give books to children at
pediatric check-ups from six months to five years of age,
with a special focus on children growing up in poverty.
We want to make sure that every
primary care physician and nurse that serves children and
families knows about, and eventually becomes a participant
in the Reach Out and Read program in Arkansas.
What's New?
Come to the West Little Rock
Barnes & Noble on
February 13th and tell the cashier at checkout that you want your
purchase to benefit Reach Out and Read Arkansas. 15 % of book and café sales
that day will be donated to our work of making books a part of early childhood.
Bring your kids! Meet Clifford, The Big Red Dog and other characters for story
times throughout the day.
