Richards Memorial Library invites families to join the 1000 Books Before Kindergarten program, a nationwide challenge that encourages parents and caregivers to regularly read aloud to their children. Studies show that reading aloud to children strengthens language skills, builds vocabulary, and teaches skills needed for kindergarten success. Most importantly, it encourages a lifelong love of books and learning.
How Can I Read 1,000 Books?
It's easy!
3 books a day for 1 year = 1,095 books
1 book a day for 3 years = 1,095 books
You can:
- Read the same book over and over.
- Read in any language.
- Count books read in storytime, daycare, or anywhere!
How Do I Get Started?
The 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten program is available to all families with children between the ages of birth and five years, as long as the child has not yet started kindergarten.
