1000 Books Before Kindergarten

Children typically start learning to read in Kindergarten, but a love of reading can start much earlier than that! 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten is a national initiative to encourage reading to newborns, toddlers, and preschoolers. It is also a great bonding opportunity for a caregiver and child.
