CAN YOU MEET THE CHALLENGE?

1000 Books Before Kindergarten

This reading program encourages families and caregivers to read 1,000 books with their young children before they enter kindergarten.

Studies have shown that families who start reading aloud to their children at birth help to strengthen their vocabulary – an important tool for beginning to learn to read when they enter kindergarten. Find out more: 1000booksbeforekindergarten.org/
