1,000 Books

This program is designed for children from birth to age 6.

If you read just 1 book a day, you will have read about 365 books in a year. That is 730 books in two years, and 1,095 books in just three years!

READ TO YOUR CHILD: Reading to your child prepares them for entering Kindergarten. Make it fun and exciting. Be imaginative.

As you work toward the 1000 book goal, your child will earn digital badges and prizes for every 100 books read. Be sure to log every book you and your child read. Read ANY book you choose. Audiobooks and books read to the child will count as books read toward the program total.
