1000 BOOKS UPDATE

That counts! (Oh, and update as of 9/15: not all books are listed, because life gets in the way. Also, some books may be listed several times. I’ll make special note of the books I and/or the kids particularly loved. Without further ado, the list as it stands. There are no guarantees with Emily’s Notebook. I’ll also try and remember to do a review post of each batch of twenty. Each week (ideally) I’ll grab 20 more from the library and record them on here. But in any case, this is where I’ll keep the comprehensive list of the books we’ve read. Was I reading to my kids enough to make it to that 1k goalpost that the website explains is so very, very important for early literacy and academic success? Eek.Īnd what if I just took it above and beyond, and tried to read 1k books a year before kindergarten? Wouldn’t that be so much better? The longer answer is this: I was at the library one day and saw some marketing material for 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten. Why are we aiming so high? Because I don’t read to my kids enough, is the short answer.

So like, three a day, when you think about it, is nothin’. Round that up to 20, divide by seven, and you’ll find yourself reading three books a day.Īnd, of course, I’m doing it for the kids: the 1k books we’ll be reading are children’s books. Let’s break it down: 1,000 books divided by 52 (weeks in a year) is 19.23. Earn prizes.By Emily JSeptemThat’s right. All books count including the books read at library storytimes and day care!
