What is 1000 Books before Kindergarten? It is a free nationwide program that encourages parents and care givers to read 1000 books with child before they enter kindergarten.

What is 1000 Books before Kindergarten?

It is a free nationwide program that encourages parents and care givers to read 1000 books with child before they enter kindergarten. Research shows that sharing books, conversations, and songs with young children builds language skills. This type of sharing contributes to children's healthy development, encourages parent and child bonding, provides skills children need to succeed in school, and helps assure they become lifelong lovers of books.

Who can participate? any child who has not entered kindergarten.

The program is open year-round, so you can join at any time. Both the Argenta and Laman Children's Departments are happy to help you get signed up.
