Fun With Words For Parents and Children
Place: Keene Public Library, Youth Program Rm, Keene, NH
Price: Free
Ages: Birth-5
This Every Child Ready to Read® @ your library® workshop is for
parents, grandparents, childcare providers --and their children from
birth to age five. The workshop presents five important early literacy
practices along with interactive activities that parents and caregivers
can use to help children learn new words and their meaning.
Before children can learn to read, they must develop a range of
early literacy skills. Learning these skills, which begins at birth, has
a long-term impact on children's reading achievement and academic
success. Children who enter school with well-developed early literacy
skills have an advantage; they are ready to learn to read.
The Association for Library Service to Children (ALSC) and the
Public Library Association (PLA) worked with Dr. Susan B. Neuman and Dr.
Donna Celano nationally-known researchers and educators to develop the
Every Child Ready to Read® @ your library® @ your library® workshops and
materials.
