1,000 Books Before Kindergarten Reading Challenge

The 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten is a program started by the 1,000 Books Foundation. The goal of the program is simply for caregivers to read a book, any book to their child, with the goal of reading 1,000 before the child enters kindergarten. The objectives of the initiative are to promote reading to newborns, infants, toddlers, and preschoolers and to encourage caregiver and child bonding through reading.
