Reading together helps develop important pre-literacy skills that provide a solid foundation for academic success, and one of the best ways to encourage reading is to do it every day. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS 1,000 books are a lot! How can we possibly read that much? If you read three books a day with your child, you'll finish in just ONE YEAR.Read two books a day with your child, you'll finish in TWO YEARS.Read one book a day with your child, you'll finish in THREE YEARS. Can we read the same book over and over? Yes! Repetition is important for growing minds, so we encourage you to read some of the same stories. What ages can participate? From birth until your child begins kindergarten. How do I sign up?
