A program for adults age 18 & up to encourage the lifelong adventure of reading!

Read a book (any book) to your newborn, infant, toddler, or pre-schooler. The goal is to have read 1,000 books (you can repeat books) before your child starts Kindergarten. You have more time than you think to accomplish this goal, but you should get started!

Studies have shown that reading with your child provides a great opportunity for bonding. Reading together is fun and will create life-long memories for both of you.

Using READsquared for this program will help you keep track of the titles you've read. It will also help us know when to reward your child for completing milestones on the way to 1,000 books and for completing the program.

Enrollment can begin at any time and for any child not yet in Kindergarten, and you can complete the program at your own pace.

The concept of the program is simple: read a book, any book, and have fun! The goal is to read 500 books before your child starts middle school (and yes, you can repeat books). If you read 2 books a week, you will have read 104 books in a year. That is 208 books in two years and 312 books in three years! You have more time than you think to read 500 Books Before Middle School!

Enrollment can begin at any time and for any child not yet in Middle School, and you can complete the program at your own pace!

We'll offer small rewards for milestones throughout the challenge, and every child who completes their 500 books will receive a prize at the end!
