1000 Books Before Kindergarten encourages families and caregivers to read 1000 books with their young children before they enter kindergarten. Studies have shown that families who start reading aloud to their children at birth help strengthen language skills and build vocabulary, two important tools when children begin learning to read in kindergarten. Children earn prizes along the way, a certificate and book at the end and a fantastic start towards a lifetime love of reading!
