In conjunction with United We Serve's "Let's Read. Let's Move." initiative, Reach Out and Read is launching a bold, new campaign to put one million brand-new books in the hands of American children before Labor Day.

That means that every day between Father's Day and Labor Day, Reach Out and Read's participating pediatricians will need to distribute more than 18,500 books to the children we serve. Every time they hand a book to a child, our pediatricians also provide parents with age-appropriate reading tips and advice about the importance of reading aloud every day.

If we succeed, we will provide one million more families with the tools and the guidance they need to prepare their children to succeed in school. But we cannot accomplish this goal without your support.

How can I become a part of the Summer of a Million Books Campaign?

1. Donate a book online or sponsor a child through Reach Out and Read's Virtual Book Drive (below).
2. Organize a book drive for the Reach Out and Read Program in your community.
3. Most importantly, read to the children in your life every day.

Contact Meredith Goldin, Program Manager, if you are interested in hosting your own Reach Out and Read Colorado book drive. We are always looking for gently loved books for our literacy rich waiting rooms. In many of our clinics, these books are also used for children visiting our Medical Providers for sick visits or as siblings.
