South Island-based 1000 x 5 Literacy Program wants to get your kids off to a great start. Their philosophy is if a child hears or reads 1000 books by age five, they will be more prepared to succeed in learning, build language skills and cultivate imagination. Volunteers collect books by donation and help to ensure that all children have access to reading material. The site gives helpful tips for finding books, reading to your kids and how you can donate or help volunteer with this incredible program.
