Reach Home and Read

The toolkit currently includes one age-appropriate book along with a set of educational pamphlets explaining the importance home literacy. These educational materials focus on appropriate literacy milestones and descriptions of how parents can engage with their children around books. In addition, we will create an information sheet outlining zipcode-specific community literacy resources, including location and information on how to access the library, where to obtain low-cost books, and a schedule of literacy promotion activities in their community (e.g. community reading sessions). All materials will also be translated into Spanish by a certified interpreter, and will be reviewed to ensure that they are written at a fifth grade reading level. Additionally, EDCI families receiving this intervention will also receive an additional new book at each home visit conducted during the study period.
