Physicians

Did you know that based on healthcare provider surveys, “Families who were given early literacy-related anticipatory guidance and a book were more likely to rate their health care provider as helpful and were twice as likely to report enjoyment in reading together compared with those who were only given anticipatory guidance.”?

As healthcare providers, you have repeated access to children and their families from the time they are born to age 5. These visits are the perfect opportunity to encourage families to read aloud together and demonstrate the best way to look at books and talk about the stories.
