1000 books before Kindergarten



Last week our local public library started a new program which encourages people to read to their young children. It's called 1000 books before kindergarten

Kyle picked up 2 booklets for the little ones and we calculated how many books we would have to read before Vincent becomes a kinder in 6 short months. It averages out to be about 5 per day. 

So we have started off our journey pretty well! Olivia LOVES to read!  I think she has learned that she gets my undivided attention! But Vincent is more of a doer, a player or a boy on the move. We are making the time now and hopefully it will help him with those early reading skills. 

We have already surpassed 25 books and I believe they get a sticker or small prize every time that they hit a milestone of 100 books!  

It will be a fun journey and a huge accomplishment! Only 974 to go!
