1,000 Books Before Kindergarten

Enjoy reading with your little one and you can earn badges along the way.

Early experiences and interactions are a key factor in a child’s brain development. The brain develops most rapidly during the first 1,000 days of a child’s life. The most important predictor of school success is being read to at home during early childhood. If you read just one book a day with your child, you’ll reach 1,000 books in less than three years.

You'll earn a badge for every 100 books you read and a certificate when you reach 1,000!
