Reach Out and Read San Diego serves more than 100,000 children and their families annually.Reach Out and Read builds on the unique relationship between parents and medical providers to develop critical early reading skills in children, beginning at birth. Reach Out and Read has a positive effect on literacy and language development, contributes to a culture of positive childhood experiences that support resilience to stress, addresses social drivers of health, improves well-child visit attendance, enhances developmental surveillance, and helps build safe, stable, and nurturing relationships.
