Kristina and Matthew Bailey began reading books to their son, Owen when he was six months old— they haven’t stopped. Owen turned 4 in June and recently received an award from the Clarendon Hills Public Library for having had 1,000 books read to him before starting kindergarten. The library’s 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten Challenge is one of a few reading challenge programs offered in Clarendon Hills, where the Bailey family has lived for the past 2 1/2 years.

He was awarded a certificate, a crown, and his picture was taken to recognize his accomplishment. Bailey, who said she is “a big reader,” said her family usually goes to the library once a week. Reading three books each night to Owen, along with a book before nap time, is the household normal. “Consistency in our routine has been good and is important,” she said, adding that Owen’s two sisters, ages 2 1/2 and 1
