1000 Books Before Kindergarten

What is 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten?

1,000 Books Before Kindergarten is a program designed to help parents prepare their children for one of life's big milestones: Kindergarten. Research has shown that children get ready to read years before they begin their formal education. An excellent way to get your child ready to learn is to read to them.

Why should your family participate in 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten?

Reading with your child and making it a special time together shows him that reading is valuable and enjoyable. You can start to develop a love of reading in your child from a young age! 

Ready to Read

You are your child’s first teacher and your home is where your child begins to learn. When you talk, sing, read, write, and play you are helping your child get ready to read!

 

Through reading aloud, a child:

  • Develops background knowledge about a variety of topics

  • Builds vocabulary

  • Becomes familiar with rich language patterns

  • Develops familiarity with story structure

  • Acquires familiarity with the reading process

  • Identifies reading as a pleasurable activity
