Reach Out & Read Virginia
Grant Award: $5,000
Reach Out and Read Virginia's mission is to "make literacy promotion a standard part of pediatric primary care so that children grow up with books and a love of reading." This mission guides its work as it uses the pediatric office visit to deliver early literacy intervention. This unique combination makes Reach Out and Read Virginia the only program capable of reaching nearly all disadvantaged young children in Virginia.
