1,000 Books B4 Kindergarten

1000 Books

Parents are encouraged to read 1,000 books with their children before age 5. This program is designed to be a fun and easy way to help your child develop pre-reading skills vital to kindergarten readiness.

 

Research shows a striking correlation between pre-reading skills and later academic success reaching into high school and beyond.

 

Parents and caregivers are a child’s first and best teacher. By sharing stories at home, you can give your child a valuable gift – a sense of confidence and a love for books and reading that can last a lifetime.
