Spending a few minutes a day reading to a child helps develop a wider vocabulary, teaches them how to use a book, promotes a lifelong love of reading, and so much more!<\/p>\n<p><strong>How 1KBBK Works<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Each time your child is read a book, either by you or another caregiver, you and your child can color in a space on the reading log. After finishing your first log sheet (50 books), you\u2019ll receive a \u201cstarter pack\u201d bag that includes a folder with more information inside, a magnet, a box of crayons, and the next log sheet. Every 50 books, you can return your child\u2019s log sheet, and they\u2019ll get to pick out a sticker. For finishing 1000 books, your child will get to choose a book to take home and keep!<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More Information<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<ul>\n \t<li><a href=\"https:\/\/1000booksbeforekindergarten.org\/\">Visit the 1000 Books Before Kindergarten program site<\/a> for more information about the program\u2019s mission.<\/li>\n \t<li><a href=\"https:\/\/developingchild.harvard.edu\/\">Harvard\u2019s Center on the Developing Child<\/a> includes science-based approaches to supporting children through all stages.<\/li>\n \t<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zerotothree.org\/\">Zero to Three<\/a> focuses on the critical need for close personal connections and development in young children.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>1000 Books Before Kindergarten\u00ae is a registered trademark of the 1000 Books Foundation, used with permission.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"e10712-e11 x-acc-item\"><button id=\"tab-e10712-e11\" class=\"x-acc-header\" role=\"button\" type=\"button\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"panel-e10712-e11\" data-x-toggle=\"collapse\" data-x-toggleable=\"e10712-e11\"><span class=\"x-acc-header-content\"><span class=\"x-acc-header-indicator\">&#x25b8;<\/span><span class=\"x-acc-header-text\"><span style=\"color: #107847\"><strong>DOLLY PARTON IMAGINATION LIBRARY<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/button><div id=\"panel-e10712-e11\" role=\"region\" aria-hidden=\"true\" aria-labelledby=\"tab-e10712-e11\" data-x-toggleable=\"e10712-e11\" data-x-toggle-collapse=\"1\" class=\"x-collapsed\"><div class=\"x-acc-content\"><p><strong>Sign up for Dolly Parton\u2019s Imagination Library today!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Central Virginia Regional Library is now an affiliate of Dolly Parton\u2019s Imagination Library!
