Program Overview

The concept is simple, the rewards are priceless.  Read a book (any book) to your newborn, infact and/ or toddler etc.  The goal is to have read 1,000 books (yes you can repeat books) before your precious one starts kindergarten.  Does it sound hard? Not really if you think about it.  If you read just 1 book a night, you will have read about 365 books in a year.  That is 730 books in two years and 1,095 in three years.  If you consider that most children start kindergarten at age 5, you have more time than you think.
