Current research shows that children who learn six critical pre-reading skills before they start kindergarten become better readers. Children who do not know these skills when they come to school have a much more difficult time learning to read. This train-the-trainer workshop will provide participants with:- An overview of current early literacy research and its applicability to library services for families and caregivers of young children.
- An overview of three early literacy workshops designed to help parents/caregivers of Early Talkers (Newborn to 2-Year-Olds), Talkers (2- and 3-Year-Olds), and Pre-Readers (4- and 5-Year-Olds).
- Examples of the development of the six early literacy skills for children birth to 5 years.
- Hands-on practice with parts of the Talkers and Pre-Readers workshops.
- The skills and knowledge to conduct Every Child Read @ Your Library workshops for parents and caregivers in your libraries or as part of outreach efforts.
- Ideas on using the workshops to start new partnerships and to strengthen existing ones.
