One way we support our pediatric patients is through our adoption of the <a href=\"http:\/\/reachoutandread.org\/about-us\/\">Reach out and Read<\/a>\u00a0(ROAR) methodology. ROAR is a\u00a0nonprofit organization that gives young children a foundation for success by incorporating books into pediatric care and encouraging families to read aloud together. They emphasize the importance of reading for early childhood development.\u00a0The best opportunity to influence a child&#8217;s future is in the first five years, a critical window of rapid brain development that does not occur at any other time. Children who hear fewer words during early childhood start school developmentally behind their peers and may never catch up.<\/p>\n<p>When families read aloud to their young children, they can give them a better start to life. That&#8217;s why our providers give books to children at more than 10 well-child visits from infancy until they start school. More importantly, they encourage families to read aloud and engage with their infants, toddlers and preschoolers every day.\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/reachoutandread.org\/about-us\/\">Read more about Reach Out and Read here on their website.<\/a><\/p>\n<h2><h2 class=\"section-som\"><span>Recent News<\/span><\/h2><\/h2>\n\n<ul class=\"media alt-media\">\n        \n                            <li class=\"media-listitem\">\n                                            <a class=\"pull-left\" href=\"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/fammed\/2018\/05\/22\/unc-family-medicine-reach-out-and-read-program-receives-grant-from-strowd-roses\/\">\n                            <div class=\"thumbnail\">\n                                <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/fammed\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/454\/2018\/05\/Benniger-child-from-side-3-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-post_thumbnail size-post_thumbnail wp-post-image\" alt=\"Reading to child\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/fammed\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/454\/2018\/05\/Benniger-child-from-side-3-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/fammed\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/454\/2018\/05\/Benniger-child-from-side-3-600x600.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/fammed\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/454\/2018\/05\/Benniger-child-from-side-3-64x64.jpg 64w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\">                            <\/div>\n                        <\/a>\n                                        <div class=\"media-body\">\n                        <div class=\"caption\">\n                            <h4 class=\"media-heading\" data-shouldbe=\"h4\">                                <a href=\"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/fammed\/2018\/05\/22\/unc-family-medicine-reach-out-and-read-program-receives-grant-from-strowd-roses\/\" rel=\"bookmark\" title=\"UNC Family Medicine Reach Out and Read Program Receives Grant from Strowd Roses\">\n                                    UNC Family Medicine Reach Out and Read Program Receives Grant from Strowd Roses<\/a>\n                                <\/h4>                            <p>UNC Family Medicine&#8217;s Reach Out and Read Program (ROAR) recently received a one year grant from the Strowd Roses,\u00a0Inc. community grant program for the purchase of children&#8217;s books.
