The Early Literacy Act would require the education and health departments, together with local governments and the National Library, to give children books during doctor visits, train health workers to advise parents on reading and screen‑time limits, set up small libraries in clinics, run community reading events, and create free online e‑books. It also makes November a National Reading Month and calls for annual monitoring reports, with funding taken from the regular national budget.
