To become an official Reach Out and Read program, there are a few simple steps to complete: collect routine data, submit an application to the Reach Out and Read National Center, and determine how your books will be supplied. Once approved, your providers must complete the online training course on program delivery.

First Book
First Book is a great resource for free and low-cost books. First Book distributes books in three ways:

  • First Book Advisory Board volunteers fundraise in their communities to provide grants of new books to local programs that serve children from low-income families.
  • The First Book National Book Bank distributes brand-new books, donated by publishers, free of charge to programs serving children from low-income families, or for a minimal shipping fee.
  • The First Book Marketplace is an online store offering programs serving children from low-income families the ability to purchase award-winning books at greatly reduced prices.

Reach Out and Read National Center has recently released Leyendo Juntos (Reading Together), a Spanish Language Literacy Promotion guide for Reach Out and Read primary care providers. The guide provides insight to working with Latino families, and includes phrases in Spanish and English that can be used to give book guidance to parents. To request a printed guide, contact Reach Out and Read GNY by phone or email.

To download a pdf version of the guide, or to see Leyendo Juntos videos which show the initiative at work in the exam room and waiting room, as well as tips for volunteer readers, visit our Training page.
