FAQ's
-
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.
-
Every time a book is read to the child it counts! If you read one book ten times, then it counts for ten books.
