Every Child Ready to Read @ your libraryŽ
3/28/2005 -- 10:00 AM to 02:00 PM -- NMRLS, Danvers
Current research on early literacy and brain development indicates that it is never too early to prepare children for success as readers. Parents of newborns, toddlers and preschoolers must be informed of their critical role as their children's first teacher.
The Public Library Association and the Association for Library Service to Children have incorporated the latest research into a series of parent and caregiver workshops to provide public libraries with vital tools to help prepare parents for their critical role as their child's first teacher.
These presentations are designed to assist librarians in early literacy information to parents, child-care providers, early childhood educators, children's advocates, and political decision makers.
Librarians attending this workshop will be shown the materials that are available and how to use them. They will explore ways to bring this important information into their communities.
