If you have a child aged 0-6 and your local library logo is on this poster, why not investigate this program. This program is also run in other parts of Australia such as Victoria.
I know 1000 books sounds like a lot of reading but really a picture book only takes a few minutes to read and if it is a winner with you and your child it will be a joy to re-read.
Read three books a day and you will finish in less than one year. Read one book a day and you will finish in less than three years. Every book that your child completes or listens to counts!
How the program works:
- A library membership card is required. Not a member? Join for free at your local library or online.
- Visit a library to register and receive your first reading record.
- Mark your reading record each time you read together with your child.
- Once you have read your first 100 books, visit your local library to receive your ‘I’m reading 1000 Books Before School’ book bag.
- Each time you reach the next 100 books milestone, bring your reading record into your local library to receive a merit patch for your book bag.
- After reading 1000 books, children are awarded a certificate to celebrate their achievement.
- The program finishes once your child reaches the goal of 1000 books, starts school, or turns 6 years of age.
These charts are about school aged children but it is so important to start your daily read aloud routine in a family during the early years.
