1000 Books Before Kindergarten is a library program that encourages local families and caregivers to read 1,000 books with their young children before they enter kindergarten. Studies have shown that families who start reading aloud to their children at birth help strengthen their language skills and build their vocabulary — two important tools when they begin learning to read in kindergarten.
The concept is simple, the rewards are priceless! Read a book (any book) to your newborn, infant, and/or toddler. Any book read (even repeats) by anybody counts.
Learning to read starts way before Kindergarten. Print and sound awareness, print recognition and vocabulary all come from listening to their parents talk and read to them.
Reading together is fun and will create life-long memories for both of you. What a great way to bond with your precious child curled up with you while you read together!
How does 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten work?
There is even an iPhone app available online if you would prefer to track your reading that way!
Wiggle wiggle hands, wiggle wiggle toes!
This program is designed for the youngest library visitors and their caregivers.
From bounces and tickles, to songs and books, it’s the perfect opportunity to bond with your babyand support their early literacy development.
Thursdays from 10:30 – 11:00 am at the Trenton Branch.
This program is drop in and recommended for ages birth to 2 years. Sign in for Babytime here.
