Story time in
Read Rover. Photo by R. Schaefer
|
Each month we perform
a story time and help providers to check out materials. Our story time
programs incorporate pre-reading skills which prepare the children for
entering school.
Also, our
storytellers model successful techniques during the programs to teach
day care providers important early literacy skills that they can then
share with the children and their parents. |
|
Themed flyers are
distributed each month containing booklists, reading
tips, a rhyme or fingerplay, and a craft. Picture books, teacher
resources, easy non-fiction, concept books, CDs, DVDs, and
storytelling materials are all available for checkout to further
support this goal. |
