- How old do you have to be to participate? The program is for children from birth to about 5 years old. Anyone who has not started kindergarten yet.
- Do I have to read a different book each time? It’s okay if the child wants to read the same book over and over. Repetition is key to learning! Each time a book is read, it counts.
- Do I have to use library books? Any book that is read to the child counts. Families can read books from the library, school or from home.
- Who can do the reading? Anyone can read the books: teachers, siblings, grandparents, and even books read at Storytime!
- How do I keep track of the books? Families can log their time in Beanstack, on our paper log, or both!
- Is there a deadline for participation? There is no deadline for this program. Families can start anytime. Families read at their own pace. Some will finish in a few months; some may take a few years.
