1,000 Books Before Kindergarten

Share the joy of reading with your child and earn virtual badges along the way. It may seem daunting, but if you and your child read just one book a night, you will easily surpass the 1,000 books goal within three years. If you read two books a day, you will surpass the goal within 1-1/2 years.

The science is clear: Children who are read to before kindergarten enter school with ONE MILLION more words in their vocabulary. Even pediatricians are stressing the importance of reading to your babies and toddlers, stating it is one of THE MOST important things you can do for your child to set them up for a lifetime of achievement and on-track brain development. Not only does it create a love of reading, and kids associate books with the love of a parent, but they will continue to outperform their peers as they grow.
