1,000 Books Before Kindergarten
Read 1000 Books!
Sign up for UPL's 1000 Books Before Kindergarten program which encourages families to read 1,000 books with their children before they enter kindergarten.
- Read a book to your newborn, infant, and/or toddler and log each one using the READsquared website or app. You can also pick up a paper log from the library or use the official 1000 Books Before Kindergarten app!
- The goal is to read 1000 books before your child starts kindergarten. You can repeat titles as well, so the 20th time you read The Day the Crayons Quit counts just as much as the 1st!
- Come to the library to pick out a special reward for every 100 book milestone you hit.
- You'll also get an extra special reward once you've read 500 books and 1000 books!
Parents: You can create an account for yourself first and then you can add additional accounts for each of your children. That way you will have the ability to easily monitor your child's activity without having to login as each child.
