The Reach Out and Read model, a scientifically validated approach to early literacy development, includes: -Doctors and nurses trained in the development strategies of early literacy talking to parents about the importance of reading aloud to their children and offering age-appropriate tips and encouragement.

-Children age six months to five years receiving a new, developmentally appropriate book from their medical professional. -Enthusiastic volunteers in the waiting areas, modeling for parents and children the pleasures and techniques of looking at books together.
