1000 Books Before Kindergarten

1000 Books Before Kindergarten (1KBBK) is an early literacy initiative that encourages families to read to their young children.

How can you break it down?

  • 1 book a day for 3 years = 1000
  • 3 books a day for one year = 1000
  • 10 books a week for two years = 1000

You can repeat books as many times as you'd like, and storytime books count too!

After registering below, visit the Children's Room to get your coloring log sheets to track books read. When you complete 500 books, come into the Children's room for a prize and the next coloring sheet log.
