Did you know reading to children supports health and wellness?

Even though babies can’t understand everything you’re saying let alone read words, reading aloud is key to brain development needed for math, reading, and even emotional control. Because it’s social time, it’s a time for you to get closer to your baby.

Try to read out loud to your baby every day; before naps and bedtime are ideal. Have them snuggle in your lap when you’re reading to them. Read with enthusiasm. Vary the tone of your voice. You’re not limited to the words on the page. Ask questions. What’s going to happen next? Etc.

At Ko’olauloa Health Center we believe reading is so vital for wellness, that we have a program called Reach Out and Read. Each time your child comes for their visit between the ages of 6 months and 6 years, will receive a new book to add to their personal library. Speaking of libraries. If you don’t have a public library card, go get one! Picking out books with your child will build a lifetime of love for reading.

Concerned about your child’s reading or speaking? Let your primary care provider know. We can usually tell you if they’re on track or not, and if we have any doubts, we can refer your child to the right specialist to figure out the issue and get the needed treatment.

Keiki and adults alike need to stay on schedule for regular wellness visits. Call us today for an appointment. We are always accepting new patients regardless of insurance or ability to pay.

Visit www.koolauloachc.org or call (808) 293-9231 for more information.

Aloha ‘Ohana,

Did you know that reading aloud to babies is key to brain development needed for math, reading, and even emotional control?

Reading before naps and bedtime. Read with enthusiasm while keiki snuggles on your lap. Vary the tone of your voice. Ask questions. What's going to happen next? Is the kitty happy or sad? At KHC we believe reading is so vital for wellness, we have Reach Out and Read.

We reward every keiki well visit from 6 months to 6 years old with a new book to add to their personal library. Speaking of libraries, if you don't have a public library card, go get one! Picking out books with your child will build a lifetime of love for reading.

Keiki and adults alike need to stay on schedule for regular wellness visits. Call us at 293-9231 for an appointment. KHC is always accepting new patients regardless of insurance or ability to pay.
