1000 Books Before Kindergarten

Read any book to your child. Make reading a fun daily habit while developing early literacy skills. The goal is to read 1000 books with your child before they start kindergarten. It's not as daunting as it sounds! The task is not as daunting as it sounds. One book a day equals 365 books in one year. Repeat any book as many times as you (or they) would like.

How it works: Register at the South Windsor Library Children's Desk, pick up or print out a checklist (alternate list version of checklist), and start reading! When children finish a sheet, they can bring it to the library to receive a sticker and move their character to the next level on our '1000 Books Before Kindergarten' board. When a child finishes their 1000th book, they receive a sticker, lunch bag and certificate of completion.
