"Do you have a free handout about reading that we can give to parents?"

Based on his books, lectures, and films, the tri-fold double-sided brochures are aimed at parents, teachers, librarians—even future teachers and parents.
In 2007, Reach Out and Read New Jersey was established as state wide coalition with a mission to expand services to more children throughout communities in New Jersey. Our goal is to target at-risk areas so that more children start kindergarten in New Jersey with the pre-literacy skills they need to succeed in the classroom – thus improving the learning environment – and the educational outcomes for all the children in our schools.
