Reach Out and Read® gives young children a foundation
for success by incorporating books into pediatric care and
encouraging families to read aloud
together. When a trusted doctor or nurse
offers guidance about reading aloud and
provides a book to read, parents have an opportunity to
give their children the best start in life. Donations of “like
new” books for children 0-5 can be dropped off at the
library. Books will be given to Reach Out and Read®
participant Dr. Sylvia Trevino for her Healthy Beginnings
Pediatrics practice.
