1000 Books Before Kindergarten
The Lansdowne Library is pleased to be a host for the 1000 Books Before Kindergarten Program. We want to encourage and welcome all families and caregivers with children who have not yet started kindergarten to join this FREE program!
We know as your child’s first teacher you want to do everything you can to make sure your child is ready to learn when he starts kindergarten. Research shows that reading to children at home increases their reading readiness skills. These children have a positive attitude about reading and are eager to learn. In addition, they acquire letter knowledge, background information, an awareness of the structure and sound of language, and a richer vocabulary; all from just listening to stories! We challenge you to read 1000 books before kindergarten to help your child get school ready.
Really…1000?!
It’s not as hard as it seems!
1 book a day for 3 years = 1095 books
10 books a week for 2 years = 1040 books
3 books a day for 1 year = 1095 books
YOU CAN DO IT!
