Versailles, IN — Tyson Library hosted a celebration Wednesday, February 9 for three young patrons who have recently finished reading 1,000 books before they started Kindergarten.
Josiah Evans, son of Rachel and Josh Evans; AJ Dell, son of Kyla and Brett Dell; and Mark Wright, son of Aly and Caleb Wright each received a certificate, a t-shirt, and a bound booklet of their completed tracking sheets.
Tyson Library’s 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten program is open to all children who have not started Kindergarten.
As a family reads together, they mark their tracking sheet, counting their way up to the next 100-book milestone.
The local program does not require that the 1,000 books have different titles.
If your child really enjoys reading the same book over and over for a week, each time you read that book, it counts.
Reading together helps develop reading and language skills, and also creates bonds and memories that will last a lifetime.
