1000 Books
The Smithfield Public Library wants you to read 1000 books with your child before they enter Kindergarten.
To participate... just start reading! Below we have instructions & a reading chart you can print to keep track of the books you read together or, pick them up at the library . Each time you finish reading 100 books, bring your tracker to the library for a sticker. You are then ready to start the next 100 books. It's that easy! When you have read 1000 books your child will get a certificate to recognize their great accomplishment and a small treat.
The idea is simple, the rewards are Priceless!
Help your child prepare for one of life's biggest milestones, Kindergarten. The goal is to read 1000 books (yes, you can repeat books) before your little one begins kindergarten.
Why should you participate?
- Develop your child's love of reading at a young age
- Bond with your child as you read together
- Get your child ready to read
- Teach your child all about the library and the joy of books
