Reach Out and Read Rhode Island is, first and foremost, about promoting shared reading of high-quality books by caregivers and young children. It is a priority that program books reflect the widest possible representation of the children and families we serve. We select our books to meet children's cognitive, social, and emotional needs from birth to age 5.
In each order we prepare for our sites, we aim to provide an equal distribution of books that fall into the following 3 categories:
- Diversity/Equity/Inclusion: feature people of diverse races, ethnicities, family structures, and abilities;
- Developmental concepts: shapes, colors, numbers, animals, and vehicles;
- Social/Emotional Learning: emotions, feelings, and healthy early relationships.
Due to fluctuations in book cost and availability and the increasing size and frequency of orders, we are no longer able to accept requests for specific titles
Book orders typically arrive within 10 business days. We will notify you if your order takes longer due to high demand.
