Our Mission Raising Readers in Wyoming encourages parents to read to their young children by providing beautiful new books as part of the well child health care visits. Raising Readers in Wyoming is modeled after Raising Readers, a successful health and literacy program in Maine.
Over 210,000 Books
Distributed
I have been
distributing these books since the inception of the Raising Readers
program and have seen a significant impact on my patients. They
still want their sucker when they leave, but the older sibs of
'second generation' babies are asking for their books! I am seeing
more and more children looking at the library in our office instead
of sitting in front of the TV or playing with the toys. I can't
take any credit for this, and can only assume it stems from this
outstanding program. And heaven forbid if I've run out of
books...the sad look on their faces. I would encourage everyone to
get on board and help out this program that encourages and
stimulates reading at such an early and critical age in development.
