1000 Books Before Kindergarten

1000 Books Before Kindergarten

1. 아이가 유치원에 들어가기까지 1,000 권의 책을 함께 읽는다. 
1. 원래 이 프로그램은 2011년에 미국 중서부의 부레만 공공도서관(인디애나)에서 시작.
1. 2013년 11월 시점에서 15주 100관 정도에서 실시되고 있는 것이 확인.
1. 프로그램의 구조는 매우 간단한 것. 도서관은 이 프로그램의 실시를 홍보하고 참가 등록을 접수하고 참가자 1,000권 도달의 행​​보를 지원. 중요한 점은 어떻게 하여 참가자의 동기를 유지하고 1,000권이라는 긴 과정을 즐겁게 완주할 수 있도록 하는가 하는 것.
1. 이 프로그램을 실시한 부레만공공도서관의 크러스터(Sandy Krost)씨에 따르면, 시작하기에 앞서 기록을 남기기 위한 수첩을 디자인. 참가 등록 시, 끈 달린 가방과 수첩을 배부. 그 때 수첩은 처음 100권 분량만 건네준다. 토끼를 다룬 파스텔 카드 바인더. 100권 도달할 때마다 다음은 원숭이, 그 다음은 펭귄과 새로운 항해 일지를 건네준다. 10색 10종류의 동물 카드를 모으는 것이 목표. 1,000권에 도달한다는 구조로 되어 있다.
1. 이스트모건 공공도서관(콜로라도 주)에서는 사진 촬영을 함께 기획을 북돋우고 있다. 관의 프로그램은 먼저 참가 등록시 사진을 찍는다. 그리고 100권마다 다음 사진을 찍는다. 사진은 도서관에 설치 한 구석에 레벨 및 날짜 정보와 함께 배치.

1000 Books Before Kindergarten is Still Rockin!

I love the organic feel of how 1000 Books Before Kindergarten programs have spread. Started a few years ago in Bremen IN by the mighty Sandy Krost, it has popped up here, there and everywhere around the country. Recently, a colleague, Kathleen Larson at From the Short Stacks, posted my all-time favorite working graphic - a google doc map of places where 1000 Books Before Kindergarten programs have been developed.

Beth Crist of the Colorado State Library produced an excellent summary of what the program is about along with some great links. She also recently hosted a webinar on 1000 Bks B4K with Sandy. My colleague, Sara Bryce did an outstanding job of gathering research to buttress requests for grants, funds and convincing administration on the worth of programs like this at her blog Bryce Don't Play.  I continue to pin programs on my Let 1000 Books Bloom Pinterest board.

While every program has a different feel and approach and theme, every program is alike in encouraging parents to read widely and muchly to their preschooler. Parents are always pleasantly surprised at how easy and fun the process is. And kids are proud of their achievements.

We have really enjoyed this stealth program here at our library. Kids and parents continue to participate as we near our 2nd anniversary. The program has resulted in over 2,500 return visits (plus  families have read almost 197,600 books with La Crosse preschoolers who are in the Club!!) and fun interactions with kids and parents. We continue to improve on it - going from writing titles on 8"x11" sheets to bookmarks with 100 seeds to mark off books read; thinking about decreasing prizes and sticking to stickers and working to keep it publicized for new families coming in.

Our state also recently added a category in their annual report request that allows libraries to report out these statistics for stealth and DIY programs - a sea-change for us since only active program stats and SLP registrations were previously gathered on those reports.
