Frederick County Pediatrics is proud to support Reach Out and Read. This program allows for us to give a "birthday" book to each child at every routine exam from infant to 5 years old.

In partnership with clinicians, Reach Out and Read leverages the well-child visit, using books and shared reading to support caregivers in fostering early literacy and healthy relationships with infants and young children. The only literacy model endorsed by the American Academy of Pediatrics, Reach Out and Read annually serves 4.8 million children across every U.S. state!!
