Reach Out and Read

Project

Reach Out and Read strengthens families with young children through guidance from medical clinicians about nurturing relationships through shared reading. A two-year grant (2025–2026) will support Reach Out and Read in its efforts to secure Medicaid reimbursement for its program. The funding will cover provider training, quality assessment, and an evaluation of the parent/caregiver experience, with the long-term goal of making Reach Out and Read a permanent component of how Medicaid managed care plans support children’s health.
