Read to Me

Providing families with books and early literacy materials and encouraging them to read, talk and sing with their baby from birth has a measurable impact on early learning and brain and language development. It also promotes secure attachment, bonding, emotional regulation, and the development of social skills.

​

Research shows that parents and caregivers place a high level of trust in the information they receive from medical professionals. To help start the conversation about the health benefits of early literacy, Read to Me has collected some resources to support clinicians in their discussions with families.
