The goal is to have read 1,000 books before your precious one starts kindergarten. By doing this your child will be better prepared for school and more likely to love books and reading.<\/span><strong><br \/><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span>1,000 Books Sounds like a lot.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The key is perseverance. Make it exciting. When your child reaches a milestone (every 100 books), your library will give him\/her a prize. If you want, you can create your own rewards to celebrate as a family \u2013 like a special dinner or a trip to the bookstore!<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>If you read just 1 book a night, you will read about 365 books in a year.

Once you hit a milestone (every 100 books) show your log to your library and receive a free gift.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The journal itself will make a great keepsake item for your child. If you are able to, make sure to keep a record of \u201cany\u201d book that is being read to your child. This includes teachers and siblings.
