Register today for our early literacy program! The concept is simple, and the rewards are priceless. Read a book (any book) to your newborn, infant, and/or toddler. The goal is to read 1,000 books (yes, you can repeat books) before your child starts kindergarten. We have supporting materials, incentives, tracking sheets and more to help your little one develop a love of reading, provide you with opportunities to bond, and help your child develop the early literacy skills they need for success later in life.
