“The read aloud 15 minutes national campaign continued to achieve dramatic growth during the year ended june 30, 2016. National campaign partners grew from 3,800 to over 10,000 across all 50 states. Messages delivered to parents of young children grew from 40 million to over 135 million as reported in an annual survey of our partners. Facebook social media followers grew from 100,000 to over 185,000. National leadership partners grew from 18 to 21 with the addition of united through reading, collaborative summer learning program, and boys and girls clubs of america. Read aloud 15 minutes relies on its national leadership and campaign partners to deliver its custom designed and carefully researched materials to parents of young children through the communication channels available to their organization during each of its month long campaign pulses in march, july, and october. Dr. John s. Hutton, pediatrician and early childhood brain researcher at the cincinnati childrens hospital medical center, joined the read aloud campaign as our spokesdoctor offering his insights on the importance and benefits of daily reading aloud through read aloud's outreach on its website, in traditional and social media, and through its campaign partners. Read aloud 15 minutes continues to expand its reach, adding television and radio interviews during its march 2016 campaign pulse featuring co-founder dr. Candace kendle, dr. John hutton and information regarding the read aloud "how america reads aloud to its children" national survey. 120 television interviews aired across 73 u.s. Markets during march 2016 reaching over 5 million viewers. Much work remains to be accomplished for the read aloud 15 minutes national campaign to achieve its goal by the end of 2022 of 250 million americans understanding the importance of daily reading aloud starting at birth. As the read aloud yougov conducted 2016 survey revealed only 34% of parents of children birth to age 8 are reading aloud to their child every day for at least 15 minutes and only 15% are reading aloud to their child at all during the first year of life.”
