Researchers repeated report that exposing
children to books at young age makes children better readers.
But, what do you do if you do not have easy access to books?
The PTA and the Palatine Literary Society have
teamed together to help address that problem by creating the
"1000 Books Program." The program is an ambitious effort to
enable every child in the Canajoharie School District to read
1000 books by the time he or she enters kindergarten.
