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 offi cial launch of this programBrighton LibraryTuesday 14 Feb at 11am

How 1000 Books Before School works1 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.
