1,000 Books Before Kindergarten prepares children for future success

Early literacy is what children know about reading and writing before they are able to read and write. In fact, research shows that children are able to build these skills years before they start school.

And that's why Great River Regional Library (GRRL) offers the popular "1,000 Book Before Kindergarten" program.

Help your little one get ready to read by reading 1,000 books before entering kindergarten. Reading aloud with children builds vocabulary and language skills. You'll build early literacy skills while bonding with your child; it's a win-win! Register and log at https://griver.beanstack.org/ or on the free Beanstack Tracker app. You can also stop by your branch of GRRL anytime to learn more and sign up.

You can get started today even if you'd rather not visit the library in person. When you're ready, check-in at your local library to see how they award small prizes along the way. 

Of course, the greatest reward of all? Making sure your little one is prepared for kindergarten success.
