1000 Books Before Kindergarten

Friday, December 7 | Permalink
1,000 Books Before Kindergarten is an early literacy program designed to help parents prepare their children for one of life’s big milestones: kindergarten. The program is based upon solid research evidence that shows that the more preschoolers hear books read to them, the more prepared they will be to learn to read when they start school. 

Children may sign up for the program at any age before they enter kindergarten.  When you register for 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten at the library, you will receive a program folder and a reading log to record the first 100 books that you read together. As you and your child progress though the program in 100 book increments, you will earn prizes and acquire pre-reading skills to help prepare your child for kindergarten and a lifetime of learning.

Contact the library at (414) 423-2136 for additional information, or stop by the Information Desk to register today!
