Food & Nutrition Literacy: Husky Reads
- UConn Health
- UConn Health
Husky Reads is one of Husky Nutrition’s most innovative and enduring programs. Modeled after the nationally recognized Reach Out and Read program since 1998, this literacy-based intervention has combined the benefits of reading with the basics of good nutrition in a format that children love. The overall goal of Husky Reads is to provide essential nutrition information and healthy food tastings to young (preschool-aged) children living in underserved urban areas in Connecticut. Additionally, the Husky Reads experience is designed to provide students with opportunities to participate in advocacy, education, and service to the community in public health and nutrition.
