Holyoke Reach Out and Read

Holyoke Reach Out and Read Holyoke Reach Out and Read distributes over 5,000 books yearly to children in Holyoke, MA and surrounding communities, helping to encourage early literacy.

Reach Out and Read prepares preschool children to succeed in school by joining with healthcare providers to prescribe books and encourage reading. Holyoke Reach Out and Read was founded in 1998. Each year we distribute over 5,000 books to 3,000 children in Holyoke, MA and surrounding communities, along with early literacy advice for their parents. Children are able to build a home library, and fam

ilies are encouraged to read aloud. Research has shown many early literacy skills are developed before the age of five. Medical providers have the unique opportunity to reach many children with this literacy intervention at their pediatric visits. Our program begins at the 6-month checkup and continues through age 5, with a special emphasis on children growing up in low-income communities. Families served by Reach Out and Read read together more often, and their children enter kindergarten with larger vocabularies and stronger language skills, better prepared to achieve their potential.
