1000 Books by Kindergarten
1000 Books Before Kindergarten programs offered at your local library provides an innovative way to establish strong literacy skills for your child before they start school. If you read just 1 book a night, you will have read about 365 books in a year. That is 730 books in two years and 1,095 books in three years. You can also read the SAME book, as repetition is critical (and it simplifies the tracking process). If you read your child’s favorite book 100 times, it counts as 100 reads! Find a program near you or stop by your local library to register for this program and get the tracking log.
