Summer Reading Challenge

Not applicable only to Summer but. . .

Research shows that infants, toddlers, and young children whose parents regularly read to them learn critical pre-literacy skills that make them better readers later-on in life.

To encourage CAISL parents to read with their toddlers, the Library Media Center started the "First 500 challenge." Families register with the Library and receive a booklet where they can record the titles of 500 books read to a child before they finish kindergarten. After each 100 books families check in at the library for a sticker on their booklet. After reaching 500 titles your child will receive a special First 500 t-shirt!

Print your booklet (or pick up a copy from the library) early in the summer and record your achievements as you go.
