1,000 Books
Before Kindergarten
Families are invited to join the 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten
program at the Greenville Public Library. The 1,000 Books Before
Kindergarten program is a nationwide challenge that encourages parents
and caregivers to regularly read aloud to their children. By reading
just one book a night, families can reach the 1,000-book goal in three
years and provide their children essential early literacy skills.
Research shows that the most reliable predictor of school success is
being read to during early childhood. Reading to children from an early
age can help close the vocabulary gap and prepare children to enter
kindergarten with the skills they need to succeed. Most importantly,
sharing books with children promotes a lifelong love of books and
reading.
The 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten program is available to all
families with children between the ages of birth and five years.
Registration opens in September. For more information, call the library
at (937)548-3915, or visit our website, greenville-publiclibrary.org.
This program is free of charge and is possible due to a generous grant
from the Friends of the Library.
