Welcome to our 1000 Books Before Kindergarten Program!
The 1000 Books Foundation is a non-profit organization that encourages strong early literacy and family bonding by encouraging parents or guardians to read with their child every day! Read any book to your child (newborn to entering Kindergarten), then log your progress in Beanstack. When you have completed a badge, come in to collect a sticker for your child. When you have completed all 10 badges (1000 books), your child will receive a free book and a certificate recognizing your family’s hard work and dedication to reading!
New to Beanstack? Follow this link to the Beanstack page and see instructions below for more information.
If you would like to manually log books on a paper log sheet, you can makes copies from this Google Drive folder. Keep in mind, for library purposes, you must also log your reading on Beanstack.
