1000 Books Before Kindergarten #1000BBK

Register Here!
A Literacy Program for Pre-readers, Age 0-5

The Madison County Public Libraries are pleased to offer an easy, fun and free program that puts preschool children on the path to success. And yes, you can read 1,000 books. If you read just three books a day, you’ll reach your goal within one year. But even if you read just one book per day, you’ll reach the goal of 1,000 books in three years.

Register for the 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten early literacy program online. You can track books by:
  • Coloring in the number of books with our colorful reading logs. Download logs below or pick one up from your library.
  • Download the free 1000 Books Before Kindergarten app. It is easy to use, and you can manage all the readers in your family in one account. Available from the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.
Any time your child reads a book – or you read a book to them – mark it online or on the paper log. We encourage reading the same book several times – and each reading of the book counts. If you read “Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus” four times, log that as four books.
 
When you and your children reach each 100 book milestone in the program, come into your library to receive rewards.

A Librarian’s Tips for Sharing Books with Pre-Schoolers
  • Keep books throughout the home, the car or the diaper bag. By creating a book-rich environment, children will have easy access and more opportunities to read or listen to books.
  • Talk about the pictures in the book. When you’re done reading the text, you can also talk about the colors, shapes and action in the pictures or photos
  • Attend a storytime at your library. Anyone can read to a child. Check out the story time schedule at your library.
