About the 1000 Books Foundation
The 1000 Books Foundation works to promote reading to newborns, infants, and toddlers & to encourage parent and child bonding through reading.
Numerous studies estimate that as many as one in five children have difficulties learning to read. Reading has been associated as an early indicator of academic success. Public formal education does not typically start until ages 5-6. Before then, parents and caregivers are the first education providers during the 0-5 early critical years.
