1,000 Books Before Kindergarten – A Reading Adventure!
Embark on a rewarding reading journey with your little one!
The goal is simple yet impactful: enjoy 1,000 books together before your child starts kindergarten. Think it is a challenge? It is easier than you might expect.
Reading just one book each night adds up to 365 books a year, 730 in two, and 1,095 in three. It is not just about numbers but about the priceless moments and learning shared between you and your child.
This exciting program kicks off in April 2025. Stay tuned for more information!

How do I keep track of how many books we read?
We’ve made tracking fun and simple! Use our printable tracking sheets found below.
- Each sheet features 100 circles inside the outline of an animal.
- After finishing a book, fill in a circle to mark your progress.
- Once all 100 circles are filled, pick up the next sheet (there are 10 sheets in total to complete the challenge).
- Remember to write the start date on each sheet before beginning.
