1,000 Books Before Kindergarten
1000 Books Before Kindergarten encourages families and caregivers to read 1000 books with their young children before they enter kindergarten. Read any book (and you can repeat books!) to your newborn, infant, or toddler before they begin Kindergarten. Sound daunting? You have more time than you think. 1 book x 365 days = 1,095. 10 books/week x 52 weeks = 1,040 in 2 years. 3 books x 365 days = 1,095 in 1 year.
Studies have shown that families who start reading aloud to their children at birth help strengthen language skills and build vocabulary. One out of five children have trouble learning to read. This program hopes to improve that statistic and also encourage family bonding.
Sign up for this program at the library. You and your child will receive a welcome bag, recording sheets, and tokens to celebrate your progress along the way.
