Events › 1000 Books Before Kindergarten Storytime

Join us for the start of a great reading challenge program! This week's storytime will focus on 1000 Books Before Kindergarten, an initiative that focuses on children and caregivers reading together. 

Numerous studies estimate that as many as one in five children have difficulties learning to read. Reading has been associated as an early indicator of academic success. Public formal education does not typically start until ages 5-6. Before then, parents and caregivers are the first education providers during the 0-5 early critical years. The 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten challenge simple: read books, any books to your child, with the goal of reading 1,000 before kindergarten.
