1,000 Books [PreK]
What is “1000 Books Before Kindergarten?”
Numerous studies estimate that as many as one in five children have difficulties learning to read. Reading has been associated as an early indicator of academic success. Public formal education does not typically start until ages 5-6. Before then, parents and care givers are the first education providers during the 0-5 early critical years. The 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten challenge is a simple (read a book, any book to your child, with the goal of reading 1000 before kindergarten) and very manageable endeavor.
Our goal is to provide a simple, innovative yet fun approach to establishing strong early literacy skills. We help young children gain the confidence necessary to become strong readers.
Once you have registered your child, log each book read to them here in READSquared. Every time they reach a 100 book milestone, come to the library's children's desk to pick up their prize.
The program ends once your child has reached 1,000 books or enters Kindergarten.
