1000 BOOKS BEFORE KINDERGARTEN

THANKSGIVING VIRTUAL CELEBRATION

The 1000 Books Before Kindergarten program has arrived at Colleyville Public Library! Studies show that reading to children from an early age helps prepare them to enter kindergarten with the skills they need to succeed. This exciting program encourages parents and caregivers to provide nurturing, positive early experiences by reading aloud to their children regularly. Not only does reading aloud support kindergarten readiness, it also promotes a lifelong love of books and reading. This program is open to all children prior to beginning kindergarten, with the goal of each participant having 1000 books read to them before entering elementary school.

Enjoy stories, songs and a craft for the season. Pick up materials prior to the day of the program and tune in to the City of Colleyville Facebook page for the event.
