Get Ready To Read With 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten!
1,000 Books Before Kindergarten is a reading program for parents and caregivers to complete
with their children from birth to kindergarten. Reading out loud with your child helps them
develop important early literacy skills – such as speaking, listening, and communicating –
before they start kindergarten. It’s never too early to read out loud to your child! There is
no minimum age requirement for this program! The more words your child hears and the
more stories they are exposed to, the better they can understand the world around them.
