The Sargent Library is excited to present the 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten program. It\u2019s as simple as it sounds\u2014make a goal to read 1,000 books to your child before Kindergarten. This program has been launched in libraries across the country as an effort to increase the development of early literacy skills in young children. Reading aloud helps develop children\u2019s language skills and imaginations. The most important predictor of school success is being read to at home by parents or caregivers during early childhood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1,000 Books Before Kindergarten is a fun, free way to start your child on the path to success. 1,000 books may seem like a lot, but if you read one book each night, you will reach your goal in less than 3 years. Children can participate from birth until they start Kindergarten. Stop by the library to register and pick up a reading log and free book bag to start your first 100 books with your child. There is a prize for every 100 books completed. All children from Sargent and surrounding communities are welcome to participate. Happy reading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
