Books should not be a luxury.
Turn the Page partners with Roanoke Virginia medical providers, pediatricians, City Schools, and community organizations to provide parents and families with new books.
Why Early Literacy Matters
Reading physical books to infants and young children builds language skills, strengthens family connections, and lays the foundation for future learning.
Research shows that children who grow up with books in their home develop stronger vocabulary, critical thinking skills, and a love of learning.

Physician Partnerships
