💡Resource Spotlight💡

Who: Any child who hasn’t started kindergarten is encouraged to participate. You can start at any time, just be sure to finish before your child enters kindergarten.

Why 1,000 books before kindergarten?

Sharing books and stories is important for a child’s brain development.

  • Children who are read to at an early age have larger vocabularies when they enter school.
  • The most important predictor of school success is being read to at home during early childhood.
  • Reading aloud to infants and children encourages social, emotional, and cognitive development.
  • A toddler’s brain creates up to two million new connections every second.
  • A child’s brain develops most rapidly before the age of three.
  • The ability to learn language skills is greatest before the age of six.

Can I count the same book more than once? Yes! You may count the same title as many times as your child wants to read it, but we also encourage you to read a wide array of books to increase your child’s exposure to different vocabulary and concepts.

When is the deadline to finish reading 1,000 books? Your child must have read their 1,000 books before they begin kindergarten. You have plenty of time to finish!

  • 1 book per day for 3 years = 1,095 Books
  • 10 books per week for 2 years = 1,040 Books
  • 3 books per day for 1 year = 1,095 Books
