Take the 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten Challenge!
How many books have you read to your child? (Yes, repeats count and are encouraged!) While 1,000 books sounds like a lot, all of the books you have read to your child have added up!
If you read one book to your child each day, that’s:
- 365 books a year
- 730 books in two years
- Over 1,000 books in three years
- Close to 2,000 books in five years
Imagine if you read 2-3 books per day! Yes, the stories, letters, and words add up along with the number of books.
When you create an account for you and your family in Beanstack, you will see an opportunity to sign up for the 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten Challenge. Your child will then be able to earn digital badges in the system for books read, which can then add up to prizes at your local library. Even though your child will be starting Kindergarten in August, you can still participate in the challenge and continue it throughout the new school year.
