Building Blocks to Literacy

"Once Upon a Time!" is the beginning of adventure -- and the beginning of learning. When children hear stories, they are learning vocabulary and syntax, beginning-middle-end, and cause and effect. They are detecting patterns. They’re building brain power. And that’s only the beginning of what happens when a child hears a story! In this fast-paced, hands-on workshop, library staff learn how to create storytelling magic for small children -- what to tell, how to tell it, why it’ll work -- and what to do when all else fails!

Date: Wednesday, November 4
Time: 9:00 am – 4:00 pm

Before the Skills: Motivating Readers

Motivation leads to skill development which leads to student achievement; without motivation, children simply don’t learn. We will look at why motivation needs to be a priority, how it can be achieved, and ways that teachers, parents and librarians can collaborate towards that goal. In the process, brain-based research relative to why and how to achieve motivation will be discussed. We will provide theory, inspiration and practical applications.
