Reach Out and Read Kansas City is doing all we can to bridge this gap so that all children in the Kansas City area have a book to call their own. Each year, Reach Out and Read Kansas City provides 65,210 new, culturally and developmentally appropriate books to 26,000 low income children, birth to age 5, during well-child visits at our partner clinic sites, building a 15-book library for each child before he or she enters kindergarten.
