I would like to express our sincere thanks for your partnership as we continue to expand into new localities and clinics to reach more families with our message about the importance of reading aloud. We were thrilled at the significant recognition of the value of our program in December 2015, when the Every Student Succeeds Act was passed into law.. This law authorizes the Reach Out and Read model in federal education policy for the first time, and was the culmination of years of advocacy on our behalf by our Reach Out and Read champions in the government. As a commitment to giving our 28,000 providers with tools to help them implement the Reach Out and Read program, our National Staff initiated a revision of our training in This included the production of 11 new videos covering topics such as screen time for young children, talking and reading to infants, and families for whom English is a second language. They are a wonderful record of what Reach Out and Read looks like in the exam room and can be seen on YouTube please click here! One of the highlights for me this year, was our Leadership Conference held in Boston in May. For the first time in four years, we brought together not only clinicians, statewide leaders, program directors and medical directors that represent all 5,800 Reach Out and Read sites across the nation, but also many of our very active National Board of Directors. The conference provided an exciting and informative program, along with opportunities to connect across the network, share best practices, and tell stories about the difference Reach Out and Read makes for the children we serve. I believe that all of the participants took home with them an energy and enthusiasm for bringing reading aloud to as many families as possible across the U.S. Of course, our focus always remains on the impact of the Reach Out and Read program how we are giving the young children we serve a foundation for success. We were encouraged at the recent publication of an article in the New York Times entitled The Good News About Educational Inequality. A letter from our National Medical Director, Dr. Perri Klass, provides more details on pages 3 4; suffice it to say that the authors credit Reach Out and Read for contributing to a narrowing of the achievement gap. This is an amazing endorsement of the value of our work, and, as partners in our mission, we are delighted to celebrate this news with you. Sincerely, Thomas G. DeWitt, M.D., F.A.A.P Chair of the National Board of Directors Reach Out and Read 23

3 CLOSING THE ACHIEVEMENT GAP Why are low-income families now adopting these parenting practices? It may be partly a result of public information campaigns like Reach Out and Read... You can read the full article online here. The authors are Sean F. Reardon, Jane Waldfogel, and Daphna Bassok. As you know, we ve been doing Reach Out and Read for 27 years now, and we ve had a widespread network for almost two decades and continue to expand rapidly. Reading this article will give you a sense of how experts in other fields are measuring some of the most important outcomes that we are trying to affect every day in our exam rooms. It s wonderful to see evidence that the education gap is narrowing, even if the income gap is not that low-income children are coming to school with better skills and a better chance. And it s great to see the efforts and dedication of all those parents acknowledged as the key factor that we know it to be that Goodnight Moon time which does so much for children in so many ways. The school readiness gap narrowed by 16% in reading from The New York Times Sunday Review published an article on August 26, which indicated that Reach Out and Read s work is contributing to a narrowing of the achievement gap. Our National Medical Director, Perri Klass, M.D., explains the importance of this article in the following letter. Dear Reach Out and Read Supporters, We were recently excited to read an article in the New York Times Sunday Review section, which cited Reach Out and Read as part of an important and encouraging trend that is big news for children and parents in this country, and should help and encourage us all in the work we do. The Good News About Educational Inequality, was authored by two professors of education and a professor of social work. In this piece, they discuss the apparent paradox that the performance gap between high-income and lowincome children has begun to shrink, even though the economic inequality is worsening. In other words, they explain, Children entering kindergarten today are more equally prepared than they were in the late 1990s. This improvement, they argue, is directly related to the parenting practices which help low-income children: What has changed is that low-income children are now getting more of what the political scientist Robert Putnam calls Goodnight Moon time than they did in the 1990s. That s excellent news. They go on to raise the question of how this came about, in the setting of increasing income inequality, and here is what they say: We suspect that in part this happened because of the widespread diffusion of a single powerful idea: that the first few years of a child s life are the most consequential for cognitive development. They point out that the achievement gap grew, in part, because of the ways that high-income parents invested in the cognitive development of their young children. The article goes on: When the authors of this essay cite us as one of the key interventions in getting out the message to parents, it s a recognition of the time and effort that you have put in to build and support this network, and to help pediatric primary care providers deliver the message, the anticipatory guidance, the modeling, and the books to so many parents all around the United States, to help them do what they all want to do give their children the best possible start. As the authors say of Reach Out and Read and Too Small to Fail, these campaigns represent an effort to ensure that our knowledge about the unique importance of early childhood helps everyone. Like a new medical innovation that is first adopted by the wealthy but then becomes commonplace, the emphasis on public and private investments in young children has helped turn a benefit for the rich into an equalizing force in society. We want to celebrate this news with you, our partners, and our supporters above all, to celebrate what parents are doing for their children, and the ways that the children s skills are improving though, as the article points out, there is still a long way to go, and educating parents needs to be part of larger initiatives to reduce inequalities and disparities. We are proud to be acknowledged as part of this good news, and eager to work with you and your networks and through them with families and clinicians to go on making things better. Warmly, Perri Klass, M.D. National Medical Director Reach Out and Read 3 4

4 A Winner of the Bridging the Word Gap Challenge Reach Out and Read Research In 2016, Reach Out and Read continued our commitment to evaluation of our impact through independent research. A New Research Collaborative In May, 2016, Reach Out and Read medical advisors established a research collaborative of clinicians, researchers and Reach Out and Read coordinators with the aim of taking our research to the next level. This collaborative, named the Collaborative for Early Literacy and Brain Development in Primary Care (otherwise known as LitNet), will develop and coordinate research projects, with a particular emphasis on large-scale networkbased research that will further demonstrate the impact of our program on families and children. We hope to initiate our first such research project in the spring of Young Investigator Awards For the last six years, Reach Out and Read has partially funded young investigators researching aspects of early literacy through the Young Investigator Award program. Results of work supported by this program include: Through brain imaging studies, John Hutton, M.D., demonstrated that when families read aloud and engage with their young children, there is increased development of regions of the brain associated with learning to read and higher thinking processes. Using LENA, a device that digitally records and analyses the number of words heard by young children, Adriana Weisleder, Ph.D., showed that Reach Out and Read stimulates an overall increase in the number of words and conversational turns between families and young children. Anna Miller-Fitzwater, M.D., M.P.H., assessed the new training for residents on how to implement Reach Out and Read for children ages 0 6 months. Residents found the training applicable and practical and that families were receptive to the concept. Reach Out and Read was excited to be selected from more than 75 submissions as one of 10 Phase One winners of The Word Gap Challenge. The aim of the challenge is to support innovative solutions that can help promote earlylanguage development among children from low-income families in the U.S. We were awarded $10,000 to pilot an amplification of the Reach Out and Read model using video and mobile app technology: The message from doctors and nurse practitioners encouraging families to read aloud to their young children was reinforced by use of video shown during the pediatric checkup and accessible at home via a mobile app. Reminders sent via the mobile app increased the dose of the Reach Out and Read message. In our small sample of subjects (26), the results were stunning: 100% 95% Video motivated parents to do the activity Parents found the reminders helpful Parents very likely 100% to continue this activity 5 6

5 EXPANDING OUR REACH 91% of children under the age of 6 attend routine pediatric checkups every year Between 2005 and 2015, we expanded our reach to more clinical sites at more locations across the USA We work with the American Academy of Pediatrics to establish the Reach Out and Read model as standard pediatric practice following their landmark policy statement in 2014 promoting literacy as an essential component of pediatric primary care. Reaching Further We continue to make our program as accessible to as many families as possible: We partner with other organizations in 2016, we continued our joint initiative with Save the Children, funded by the federal Innovative Approaches to Literacy Program. This partnership has taken us into rural communities in the U.S., including the Navajo Nation, and focuses on building child-centered communities. We also partner with libraries, supporting our mutual interest in promoting early literacy. We provide books in 21 different languages including Arabic, Chinese, Russian and Spanish. Many of our materials are also produced in other languages. We adapt our model for children with disabilities updating our training to incorporate best practice and to include disabilities, such as autism, that are now more widely recognized and understood. We create public-private partnerships currently 15 states invest in the work of Reach Out and Read. We implement our program in infancy providing training and support materials that encourage Reach Out and Read Providers to start the program in the child s first few months, when parent-child bonding has a significant impact on brain development. We recently received this warming message from one of our Kentucky Program Coordinators: One of our Save the Children colleagues overheard a Mom and Dad talking at one of our joint events. She told us The Dad said to the Mom I didn t know it was that important to read to my child. The Mom said Now you know, you can read to them too. I don t have to be the only one reading to them. So we know that at least one person really paid attention and hopefully will start reading to their children. I loved it when I heard that. 87 8

That s our vision, and I hope this report has shown you how much we value your partnership, how widely the effects of your contributions are felt, and how your support helps us reach more children throughout the year. Whether you gave directly to your Regional Office, or the National Center, please be assured that we strive to make every dollar count. After a successful year, we are already well into an ambitious schedule for ! While our technology infrastructure has served us well over the years, it no longer meets the needs of our network, or allows for expansion at scale. So, we are revolutionizing our data management platform to enhance connectivity with our partners, and improve data collection and reporting functionality. As you can imagine, this is a mammoth undertaking, requiring both a concerted effort to raise funds, as well as collaboration throughout the network to ensure that the new platform will benefit all our stakeholders. This effort will impact all areas of our work network communication, organizational efficiency, research and evaluation, and our capacity to build partnerships, both nationally and locally. Most importantly, it will enable us to deliver our program to more families, to motivate more parents to cuddle their children and share a picture book together, to give more young children a foundation for success. Here at Reach Out and Read, we have always sought to evaluate the impact of our program, building a large body of published research that supports the efficacy of our model. We now aim to take our evidence base to the next level with an exciting new venture we have established a research collaborative, LitNet, described on page 5, aimed at developing a cohesive and expansive research strategy. Starting in 2017, we plan to conduct a network-wide research project to further establish Reach Out and Read as a leader in early childhood development. These are just two of a number of initiatives planned for the coming year. But, as you know, the dedication of our 28,000 clinicians, the commitment of our network leaders, and the generosity of our volunteers are the driving force of our organization. Thanks to their work and your support, Reach Out and Read continues to grow to reach more families and children, taking us ever closer towards our vision of giving the power of reading aloud to every child, everywhere. With appreciation, Brian Gallagher M.P.A. Chief Executive Officer Reach Out and Read

14 It s so wonderful to see the transformation from a parent who says, I can t do this! to one who can enjoy the bonds created through shared time together and who knows that they are giving their child a chance for success at school. Claudia Aristy, Reach Out and Read Program Director at Bellevue and Member of the Reach Out and Read National Board.
