How do we read 1,000 books by Kindergarten?
It’s easy!
1 book per day for 3 years = 1,095
10 books per week for 2 years = 1,040
3 books a day for 1 year = 1,095
Can we only count a book title one time?
No matter how many times you read the same book — it’s a new count each time! Repetition is important for learning.
I have more than one child I read to. Can I count the same title for each child?
Of course you can!
