Our Approach

• BabyRead’s approach is unique among other pre-literacy programs

• Our trained and screened readers work one-on-one with families/caregivers, typically twice a month for up to one hour depending on your child’s attention span

• Families are encouraged to read and talk with their babies every day

• Gift cards for food are provided as incentive for regular frequent reading, new families, and successful new family referrals

• Readers demonstrate approaches for cuddling, reading, singing, reciting nursery rhymes, performing finger plays, and language development

• Two free books, healthy snacks and an age-appropriate magazine is given to moms/caregivers at each in-person session

• A book, magazine and snack are also given to each pre-school sibling up to entry into a 4K program
