It’s an excellent way to introduce the Reach Out and Read program to parents of infants. Many parents are unaware that even in early infancy children can begin to pick up the visual cues that lead to reading readiness but when they see their baby respond to SMILE!, parents start to understand the importance of sharing books with young children. And as a doctor, it’s enjoyable to watch the parents and baby reacting to the book and each other!”
