 [November 10, 2020]
Families are invited to join the 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten
program at Lincoln Public Library District. The 1,000 Books Before
Kindergarten program is a nationwide challenge that encourages
parents and caregivers to regularly read aloud to their children. By
reading just one book a night, families can reach the 1,000-book
goal in three years and provide their children essential early
literacy skills.
Research shows that the most reliable predictor of school success is
being read to during early childhood. Reading to children from an
early age can help close the vocabulary gap and prepare children to
enter kindergarten with the skills they need to succeed. Most
importantly, sharing books with children promotes a lifelong love of
books and reading.
