Born To Read Inc. is a registered 501(c)3 non profit charitable organization promoting early literacy. Our trained volunteers visit new parents in the birthing centers at Beaufort Memorial,Coastal Carolina and Hilton Head Hospitals. We bring the new parents a resource bag containing two books for the baby, a bib, a shirt and other items and advise the parents of the importance of daily reading and talking with their babies starting at birth.

Since the inception of the program our volunteers have made more than 18,000 visits to new parents in the local Beaufort County South Carolina Birthing Centers.

Parents may also sign up to receive a quarterly letter that gives them information about babies’ language development during the first fifteen months of life.
