GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) – Six Green Bay area health centers have joined a national effort to promote literacy development.
As part of the ‘Reach Out and Read’ program, the Prevea Health Care centers will have doctors give books to children ranging from six months to five years old.
Dr. Michelle Hill says “reading is a very important part of childhood development and in language skills, it’s important for brain development in general.”
The program serves almost five million children across the country each year.
