Submitted by Judy Hanning on Thu, 2017-06-22 09:00
Willits Branch Library is taking part in an early reading initiative that aims to have parents read 1,000 books to their children before kindergarten. The initiative guides parents by offering incentives and packets with fun ideas, as well encouraging parents and children to visit the library every 100 books. Children can even get a place on their 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten by finishing the challenge.
This multiyear project encourages parents to read aloud at least 1,000 books with their children before they enter school.
Key Takeaways:
1
Willits Branch Library encourages parents to read 1,000 books to their children before they enter school.
2
If done, they could be reading when they enter school or close enough that comprehension is picked up easier.
3
The library keeps the reading logs and gives you a new one each time you fill a sheet.
