How It Works:
- This free program is designed for families with children birth through the age of 6. This program has no end date except for when your child enters school. Enjoy the experience and try not to rush. Take every opportunity to read, sing, play and talk with your child. Exposing them to a wide variety of stories will give them an even greater advantage, including the chance to hear many new words and concepts.
-
Begin your 1,000 Books before Kindergarten journey by signing up for the program online using Beanstack. You may also pick up a tracking folder at the Youth Services Desk, if your child would like to keep track of their reading too.
-
Keep track of the books you read on Beanstack. You can log multiple books at a time. Anytime your child listens to an entire book, it counts! You can even count multiple readings of the same book.
- After you finish reading 1,000 books, drop in to the library to celebrate by receiving a prize and recognition for your amazing accomplishment. Remember, the best prize of all is a great jump start on success in school!
