Robert Lee (left) and KenNyah Pritchett (right) play with books as they wait for their appointment at Children’s Park Place. A book fair benefitting the Reach Out and Read program will take place Thursday, Feb. 19 and Friday, Feb. 20, in the second floor lobby of Children’s Harbor. The program, sponsored by the UAB Pediatric Primary Care Clinic, encourages parents to read to their children. Books donated will be given to children ages 6 months to 5 years during their annual checkup. The books are used to assess the child’s developmental skills and to model reading behavior for the parent during the visit.
