1000 Books Before Kindergarten

Turning Pages, Building Futures

Reading is one of the most powerful things you can do for your little one’s learning. When you combine it with a fun reward system like 1000 Books Before Kindergarten, you’re setting them up for success before they even step into the classroom.

1,000 might sound like a big number, but you’ll be amazed how quickly you get there. Every bedtime favorite, Storytime session, and even those “read it again!” moments all count! Each story helps your child develop language skills, curiosity, and a lifelong love of reading.

Plus, you’ll make special memories along the way. Sign up to get your starter kit, earn rewards as your child reaches milestones, and celebrate the big finish with a photo, keepsake book, and a big smile. Because the best gift you can give your child is a love of reading!
