Discription:
Literacy is a popular topic of discussion among librarians. Especially important is early literacy,
what children know about reading and writing before they can actually read and write. In this book,
experienced librarians Kathy Barco and Melanie Borski-Howard share hands-on techniques that
they have used to successfully promote early literacy and encourage family involvement.
Storytime and Beyond teaches readers how to use literacy doodads&#8213inxpensive props that
add excitement to storytimes and can be used outside the library or classroom&#8213toenhance
the basic components of any early literacy program: talking, singing, reading, writing, and playing.
Many of the doodads can be created as family do-it-yourself projects, and some can be adapted to
work with non-readers of any age. Instruments can also be a great way to get children's attention
and teach literacy skills, whether it's a drum to beat while reading a story or a maraca for children
to shake during a song, and lesson plans for musical storytimes address how to use rhythm,
singing, and dancing to make early literacy fun.
