REACH READ ABOUT - Reach Out and Read Carolinas
Th a n k Y o u
Reach Out and Read’s work has proved critical during the
pandemic. It is in such times of anxiety that children most need
to feel safe and loved –and one of the best ways to support and
engage children is to share stories together.

Reading together promotes bonding and builds strong emotional
connections. When children are cuddled in the lap of a loving
caregiver, enjoying a book together, they feel secure, despite the
turmoil in the outside world.

To match the scale of what is needed to realize our vision of
serving all children ages 0-5 years old through the Reach Out and
Read model, our region has expanded to include serving Reach
Out and Read providers in Virginia and Washington, D.C. We have
worked diligently to put the right structures in place to allow us to
grow sustainably.

We’ve also worked across the region to expand the Reach Out
and Read integration into more residency training clinics and
programs, increase access to the intervention serving military
families, grow the number of clinics starting ROR at birth, and
invest in book diversity and inclusion initiatives to help children
and families feel safe and supported.

As always, thank you for your support in helping make everyday
moments matter to children, families and Reach Out and Read
providers and partners across the region including Virginia,
Washington, D.C., North Carolina and South Carolina.

Why ROR Matters
The simple act of reading aloud together helps lay
the foundation for a lifelong love of reading and
learning.

These moments spent together with a book build
resilience and support the healthy relationships
families need to thrive.

Our work is especially vital because we reach
children early when their brains are still
developing. By integrating ROR into medical
settings, we can impact more than 90 percent
of young people while strengthening
families and our communities.

Our Model
Reach Out and Read has a three-part research-based model to promote
brain development in children and healthy relationships in families:

                      ➊      The Primary Care Provider – coaching and building
                             skills in parents; modeling and supporting early brain

                             child visits, the doctor prescribes reading by modeling
                             read-aloud strategies while teaching and training the
                             parent about how to share books and why it is important.
                             Parents are engaged in the conversation as the provider
                             offers anticipatory guidance and emphasizes how
                             reading brings families together.

                             building a collection of 10-15 new books in the home
                             before the child goes to kindergarten.

Beginning Reach Out and Read at birth emphasizes the importance of supporting
parents and families from the beginning.

              A baby's brain forms millions of neuronal connections in the first

BOOKS AND DIVERSITY
As an organization, we are committed to the role of the medical home and
the opportunity of the provider to integrate strategies, like Reach Out and
Read, into the primary care office to ensure families feel safe, welcome,
and represented. Through this project, we seek to:

➊
Influence, expand, and enhance access to high-quality, culturally
responsive books to foster shared reading and emotional connection,
including influencing and expanding the marketplace to bring new and
more diverse authors, books and stories to market.

➋
Collaborate with stakeholders in project development and implementation
and reflect on the initiative's role within the scope of the ROR mission.
   •

   •
        Consider the value of families' choice in the books they would like
        to share and enjoy together.
        Develop and integrate parent and provider voice and leadership.

➌
Engineer knowledge by researching and conducting evidence-based
strategies that support our ROR provider network and build protective
factors within the family unit and the community:
   •    Develop training supports for providers to best support families in
        the exam room.

This is a multiyear journey, and
progress is being made all the time.
A few exciting updates:
   •   Different book pilot in partnership with
       author Chris Singleton in South Carolina
   •   300 Different books distributed to ROR

REACHING MILITARY
FAMILIES
Military families experience significant amounts of stress and
disruption to family life due to their service. This stress can have
lifelong effects on children's mental and physical health. Reading
aloud together is a proven strategy to strengthen the parent-child
bond and to help children cope with stress and anxiety.

Children in military families are more likely to be children of color,
have low family incomes, or have experienced trauma –all factors
associated with the potential for lower school performance.
Reach Out and Read can help to mitigate all of these risk factors.

TRAINING THE NEXT
 GENERATION OF ROR
 PROVIDERS
 The single best way to influence the practice of medical providers is to
 reach them during their training, as they form their understanding of the
 standard of care.
 Research shows residents who participated in formal training(s) were
 more likely than those who did not participate in formal training to
 distribute books, provide relevant anticipatory guidance, model shared
 reading, use books as tools for developmental assessment, and give the
 book to the child at the beginning of the visit.
 All of these practices are important for ensuring high-quality implementation
 for families, and what should be addressed in training the next generation of
 providers.
 We also know residents often take these lessons with them into their
 practice, where they establish ROR programs that they maintain
 throughout their careers.
