1000 Books Before Kindergarten
A challenge to ALL parents/caregivers to read 1,000 books to their newborns, infants, and toddlers before kindergarten.
Read a book -- any book! -- to your newborn, infant, and/or toddler. The goal is to read 1000 books before they enter kindergarten. If you read just one book a night, that's 365 books each year!
You can count books read:
- More than once, as many times as they are read
- By parents
- By the child
- By sisters, brothers, family members, other caregivers
- In daycare, preschool, or a Library program
Program Instructions (Spanish/español)
Resources (including reading logs to print)
You can also track books using the 1000 Books Before Kindergarten apps.
