We want to help you read 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten with your child. The program helps you keep track of the numbers and titles of the books you've read. We have a wide array of picture and board books for you to read with your child and we will be sharing these titles weekly so that at the end of 1 year you can actually have read 1,000 books together. If you are interested, ask the librarians at your library about the program and they will be happy to share all the information they have. In the meantime, put these books on hold so you can get started right away!
