1,000 Books
Before School
Why 1000 Books Before School?
Reading together is the best way to encourage
a love of books in your child.
Sharing stories with babies and young children
helps develop literacy skills that will prepare them
for reading at school.
Commences Thursday 1 Dec at Bayside Librarys
Join us for the official launch of this program
Brighton Library
Tuesday 14 Feb at 11am
How 1000 Books Before School works
1 Register at any Bayside
library to receive your
Reading Record and reading
kit to get you started. A
library membership is
required to join the program.
2 Mark, colour or place a
sticker on your Reading
Record each time you read
together with your child.
3 Each time you reach a
milestone in your Reading
Record, bring it in to the
library for a special reward.
4 Every book that your child
completes, or actively listens
to, counts – this includes
stories read at Storytime
sessions, day care,
playgroup, kindergarten, as
well as the same book over
and over again. You can read
books from anywhere – not
just library books.
5 The program fi nishes once
your child reaches 1000
books, or starts school.
