Literacy Conference Attendees
|
The Reach Out and Read training provides practical, concrete and effective strategies for providers on how to talk to parents about books and for using books in the pediatric well-child visit. All participating Reach Out and Read providers must complete the Reach Out and Read training before they begin implementing the program. For new sites with more than twelve providers, Reach Out and Read of Greater New York can arrange an on-site training session shortly after the application is approved. Both a training video and a one-hour on-line CME course on pediatric literacy promotion are available as training options for clinics with fewer providers.
To ensure that the Reach Out and Read message and model is delivered most effectively to Latino families, Reach Out and Read has launched Leyendo Juntos (Reading Together), an initiative to develop linguistically-appropriate training and materials for Reach Out and Read medical providers. These materials help providers to encourage Spanish-speaking parents and extended family members to read to young children. Leyendo Juntos builds upon the best practices that medical providers at various levels of linguistic proficiency (e.g., native Spanish speakers, near-fluent speakers, and those who speak medically-appropriate Spanish) have used when promoting early literacy to Spanish-speaking families.
