Family Literacy Month Initiative- November 2011
The American Academy of Pediatrics, CA Chapter 3, through its Reach Out and Read program is partnering with First 5 San Diego and the libraries to celebrate November as Family Literacy Month and encourage parents and caregivers to read aloud to their children. Supervisor and Chairwoman Pam Slater-Price issued a proclamation at the November 8th County Board of Supervisors Meeting to recognize Family Literacy Month.

Our Mission: Reach Out and Read prepares America's youngest children to succeed in school by partnering with doctors to prescribe books and
encourage families to read together.
Doctors, nurse practitioners, and other medical professionals incorporate
Reach Out and Read's evidence-based model into regular pediatric checkups,
by advising parents about the importance of reading aloud and giving
developmentally-appropriate books to children. The program begins at the
6-month checkup and continues through age 5, with a special emphasis on
children growing up in low-income communities. Families served by Reach Out
and Read read together more often, and their children enter kindergarten
with larger vocabularies and stronger language skills, better prepared to
achieve their potential.
