Abington Pediatrics is excited to be a part of the Reach Out and Read program. This program, founded in 1989, encourages reading in young children to prepare them for success in school. Abington Pediatrics will be giving developmentally appropriate books to patients at each well exam, starting at six months through five years, in an effort to support reading together as a family. Reading is a very important part of a child's growth and development. Children whose parents read to them have better vocabularies and are better prepared for school. Abington Pediatrics is working to make literacy and school readiness an important part of your visit with us. Let's make reading fun!
