Happy International Literacy Day!

At Pacific Medical Centers, we are proud to partner with Reach Out and Read to promote early literacy through shared reading.

Early literacy is a team effort between caregivers and clinicians. Through Reach Out and Read, our clinicians use books to assess developmental progress, show caregivers how to engage in sharing books, and encourage families to build reading aloud into their home routines.

According to a research study, "reading aloud is one of the most important activities a family can do together which can improve child's language, cognitive skills, and also may be the most critical to literacy acquisition". Families who receive Reach Out and Read were "more likely to read to their children, more likely to report reading aloud at bedtime, and to read aloud four or more days per week."

Celebrate International Literacy Day today by sitting down together and reading your favorite book.
