1000 Books Before Kindergarten is a fun, free and self-paced early literacy program for families with children ages 0-5. The goal is to read a thousand books with your child before the age of 5.
Why a thousand books? Studies show that reading to your child at an early age helps them develop important pre-reader skills that benefit them as they develop. Daily reading exposes children to hundreds of thousands more words, enhancing vocabulary, comprehension, and social skills, with benefits lasting into adulthood.
Why before Kindergarten? Research shows that cognitive processes develop rapidly in the first few years of life. In fact, by age 3, roughly 85% of the brain is developed. Young children are capable learners, and reading is a wonderful way to set them up for future success.
