1000 Books before Kindergarten was created as an incentive and motivation program to encourage parents to read at least 1000 books to their child before the child enters kindergarten. Each child receives a reading journal and book bag. The reading journal contains pages to record the first 100 books read to the child. Each time a child has completed 100 books, he or she returns to the library with the reading journal to get the next set of pages.
Jay County Public Library believes that early literacy is extremely important in a childís success in school and later life. Early literacy is what a child knows about reading and writing before he or she can actually read and write. Reading to a child is one of the most important things a parent can do to prepare their child for school and learning.
1000 Books before Kindergarten is sponsored by the Portland Rotary Foundation, Cincinnatus League, Friends of Jay County Public Library, and Jay County Public Library Endowment.
