A reading program for children ages birth to Kindergarten! The concept is simple, the rewards are priceless. The goal is to read 1,000 books before starting Kindergarten. Get started by reading a book — any book! You can even reread the same book again and again!
One thousand books? That seems like way too many, right? Not at all. You've got this! It doesn't matter if your child is three or just three months - there's no better time to start than now! If you read just one book a night, you will have read 365 books in a year. That's 730 books in two years and 1,095 books in three years. Read 3 books a night and you can complete the program in just one year!
Reading helps build social and emotional skills, sparks creativity and imagination, promotes bonding, and helps kids do well overall in school. Take that motivation, open one book, and get started. And remember, 1000 is just a number. The goal is to work reading aloud into your regular routine, and let the magic of stories do the rest.
Prizes are awarded for registering and completing the program, as well as for reaching the milestones of 100, 250, 500, and 750 books.
