Yes, I will join Reach Out and Read Illinois.
Reach Out and Read for Every Child in Illinois
Can you join us to help us reach Every Corner of Illinois with the Reach Out and Read program?
Reach Out & Read Illinois incorporates children’s books into doctor visits.
From the time a baby is born until they turn five years old, a child's brain grows more than any other time in life! Research is clear that reading aloud to children is key to early development, which is why Reach Out & Read Illinois works to ensure children’s books are built into every part of a well-child visit. This past year we served more than 150,000 children statewide and we grew our program to more than 175 locations, in many new parts of Illinois including Rockford, Quincy, and Pekin!
We’re proud to have reached so many in 2024, but we still only serve one in every three children in Illinois and we need your help to expand!
Your gift helps ensure children can get the developmental support they need to foster a lifelong love of reading and learning.
