1,000 Books Before Kindergarten
The concept is simple but the rewards are priceless! Read books to your infant, toddler or preschooler – the goal is to have read 1,000 books before they enter the door of kindergarten! Register at the library, then use the tracker or mobile app to keep track of your progress! Just reading 1 book a day is 365 books in a year, 730 in two years and 1,095 in three years! You have plenty of time, so take advantage of this wonderful early literacy program!
