1000 Books Before Kindergarten
Can you help your child listen to 1,000 books before they start kindergarten? It’s not as difficult as you think! Reading just one book a day gets you to 365 in a year, which means you’ll be to 1,000 in a bit over 3 years. Read several books a day and it might not even take one year!
Yes, reading your child the same book over and over counts–it’s a great way to build reading skills. And if other caregivers are reading aloud to your child, those books count too.
Pick up a kit at any YDL library to track your reading at home.
Track your progress with our 1,000 BBK kits that include 10 paper logs to track 100 books each, a stamper, and stickers.
- Stamp a circle each time you read a book.
- Add a sticker when you finish stamping 100 circles on one log.
- When you fill all 10 logs with stamps and add 10 stickers to the tracker, you reached 1,000!!
- Come to any YDL location where your little one will get a certificate, a free t-shirt, and be added to our Wall of Fame.
You can download and print our logs to track books you are reading if you prefer.
