1,000 Books [PreK]
1000 Books Before Kindergarten (1KB4K) is our newest early literacy initiative at the Alma Public Library! The primary goal of the 1KB4K program is to create a bond between a child and their caregiver while creating a love of reading. Through this program, children gain the skills necessary to become independent, confident readers!
Reading one thousand books before kindergarten seems like a huge feat, but it is really very achievable! For example, if you and your child read just one book at bedtime every night, in one year you'll have read 365 books; at the end of year two, you've read 730 books, and after three years you've read 1,095 - you met AND SURPASSED the goal of 1,000 books in just three years!
