100 Book Challenge® PreK
Ensure Every Child Enters Kindergarten Ready to Learn to Read
Pre-schoolers must be immersed in books and learning how books work if they are going to be on-level when they start Kindergarten. 100BC PreK ensures that every little one has had at least 500 books read to him/her during this crucial stage of learning.

500-Book Kid Logbook
Just for PreK students, parents, and teachers, the 500-Book Kid Read-Aloud logbooks ensures that every preschooler reads, or is read to, 500 books before entering kindergarten.
PreK Reading Skills Cards
Skill Cards go home with the children each night, prompting parents to talk with their children about what they are reading.
Medals for first 500 Steps
Milestone Awards are presented in recognition of effort-based achievements in reading. Each gold medal has the 100 Book Challenge logo on one side and the reading milestone on the other. Colorful ribbons represent which milestone the reader has reached.
Incentive Reading Folders
100 Book Challenge Reading Folders keep your students organized for Independent Reading. Everything they need for reading practice travels with them throughout the day and goes home each night. Students start with the basic Blue folder. As each reader completes 100 Steps of reading, he or she is awarded a new 100-Step Red folder. Students who have not completed the requisite amount of reading practice continue with the aging Blue folders. Teachers and volunteers can see at a glance who needs extra reading practice time. The color folders provide a Karate Belt system for monitoring and rewarding student effort.
100 Book Challenge Smart Start modules include folders to take 30 students to 100, 200, 300, and 400 Steps. Additional incentive folders up to 1,000 Steps are available à la carte.
PreK Classroom Library
100 of the very best multi-cultural titles available for preschoolers have been hand-selected from more than 200 publishers by ARC’s Story Hour Maven, Ms. Kate Perlish. Strong stories, compelling information, and bright, beautiful illustrations make them perfect for read aloud or for independent pre-reading by your little ones.
25 Librarian-Tested Read Alouds
This special collection represents the best read-aloud books that have been librarian-tested by Miss Kate Perlish of American Reading Company. Miss Kate, children’s librarian, gathers first-hand knowledge as she reads to preschoolers every week in three local libraries.
