You are your child's first teacher!
Sign them up for 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten (1KB4K) at Big Rapids Community Library!
The program in a nutshell:
-
When you enroll your child in 1KB4K, you will receive a Reading Chart. For every book you read, cross off one circle on your chart.
-
When you have read 100 books to your child, bring the completed chart. Your child will get his or her name on the wall in the Children’s Room, a sticker and a new chart for the next 100 books.
-
After every 100 books, make sure to pick up your sticker and the next reading Chart.
-
When your child reaches 1,000 books, he or she will receive their very own book bag, a book, and a stylish Certificate of Achievement.
-
Finished all the steps? Congratulations! You did it! You gave your children a priceless gift — the readiness to read!
Every child in your family can participate, from infant up to Kindergarten.
