Home >> Prescriptions for Reading



Daily Dose of Reading pediatricians emphasize the importance of literacy through a brief conversation with the child and parents at every well visit. Pediatricians discuss favorite titles, encourage the child to read, and offer a Prescription for Reading. The Prescription is a list of twelve recommended titles appropriate to a child's age/reading level. Prescriptions are updated annually. They include current titles, old favorites, various genres, multicultural books, and books that appeal to both boys and girls.
