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.
Get started with a 1000 Books Before Kindergarten book bundle! Visit oshawalibrary.ca/1000-books/ for more information.Questions? email: 1000books@oshawalibrary.on.ca
Embark on our page-by-page reading quest! Challenge yourself to read as many books as you can throughout the school year. Track your progress, join a community of readers, and celebrate milestones. Ages 5-10.
Put reading first, with 20 minutes a day spent reading to your children.
Make it fun and exciting. Be imaginative.
If you read just 1 book a day, you will have read about 365 books in a year. That is 730 books in two years, and 1,095 books in just three years!?
