35% of Illinois 4th graders score below the basic reading level.
The Rotary District 6440 Literacy Committee encourages clubs to promote the foundations of literacy by supporting a local Reach Out and Read (ROR) program.
Reach Out and Read of Illinois, a program of the Illinois Chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics (ICAAP), trains medical providers to advise parents, particularly those living in poverty, about the importance of reading aloud to children. Books expose children to concepts and vocabulary they’ll need for the basics of literacy. Medical providers also give books at well-child visits to parents of children from 6 months to 5 years of age.
Clubs considering adopting a nearby Reach Out and Read site by raising and donating funds, donating books or becoming volunteer readers, can find their club name below and ROR-IL sites that are nearby.
For further information, to visit a site, to host a presentation, or to adopt a site, please contact:
