READ TO ME has the unique opportunity to reach families at the earliest point in a child's development and encourage and support them in taking advantage of the critical early months of brain development.
In fact, researchers now agree that 85 percent of brain development occurs during the first three years of life.
READ TO ME is implemented in hospitals serving low-income families. These mothers are given a READ TO ME bundle of joy, which includes a:
New children's book
Re-usable tote bag
Special note explaining the importance of sharing the joy of books and reading with their newborn baby
