About
1,000 Books Before Kindergarten is designed for children from birth through kindergarten.
The goal is to read 1,000 books to your child before he or she starts kindergarten. If you read just one book a night, that’s 365 books in one year, 730 books in two years, and 1,095 books in three years!
This reading challenge was created by The 1000 Books Foundation. It is operated exclusively for charitable, literary, and educational purposes.
The objectives of this organization are to promote reading to newborns, infants, and toddlers and to encourage parent and child bonding through reading.
