About Us WHY
When parents are given “prescriptions” to read by their child’s
doctor they are four times more likely to read and share books with
their children.
WHEN
Books are provided to children at their well-child health care visits or immunizations at ages 2, 4, 6, 12, 15, & 18 months and 2, 3, 4, 5 years of age. HOW
Raising Readers in Wyoming, Inc. provides age-appropriate books. The
books are chosen by a group of Wyomingites who have expertise in
early childhood and/or literacy. The committee consists of a
children’s librarian, a speech language pathologist, a retired
University of Wyoming professor who taught children’s literature,
and a representative from the Wind River Indian Reservation.
Books in Spanish are chosen by a smaller group of
people that includes a college instructor of Spanish.
WHERE
Raising Readers in Wyoming, Inc. distributes books in all 23 Wyoming Counties.
Participating medical providers include pediatricians, family practice physicians, and county public health offices.
