FAQs
What happens if we read the same book multiple times?
Every time a book is read to the child it counts! If you read one book ten times, then it counts for ten books.
How long will it take to reach 1,000 books?
The program is self-paced, so it depends on how often you read with your child. If you read 3 books a day, it will take under a year to reach the 1,000 book goal. If you read one book a day, it will take just under 3 years.
