1,000 Books Before Kindergarten - Babies, Toddlers & Preschoolers
Take the next steps towards early literacy with the 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten program. Read a book, any book, to your infant, toddler or preschooler. The goal is to read 1,000 books before your child enters Kindergarten.
This goal, while seeming impossible, is possible! If you read just one book a night, you will have read 365 books in one year—and, if you read one book multiple times that counts as well!
Participants will receive a commemorative tote bag when they read 50 books, and a pin to place upon the tote every time they read 100 books. Once complete, all participants will receive a certificate of completion. Information Sheet & Reading Log
