Skills for Tots and Adults Reading Together <p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">This spring I launched a new Facebook group aimed at sharing information and inspiration about early literacy.

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: blue; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Each Preschool Storytime includes activities that support <u>all or most of the five</u> early literacy practices identified as essential in helping your child develop the skills they need <u>before</u> they can learn to read. The five practices – <b>singing, talking, reading, playing </b>and<b> writing</b> – were developed for Every Child Ready to Read®, an initiative of the Association for Library Services for Children (ALSC) and the Public Library Association (PLA).</span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">For this echo song I handed out sleigh bells to half of the children, encouraging them to keep their instruments quiet during the first half of the song (it's harder than you might think!!), then playing them during the second half. The other half of the children waited patiently for their turn to play the bells. After singing the song FOUR times we still didn't manage to get Brother John out of bed!!</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><b>Can You Guess The Sound?</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Children and adults were invited to use their best listening skills to give names to the sounds they heard. The sound effects we listened to included:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">* Helicopter</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">* Donkey</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">* Crying Baby</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">* Clock</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">* Chain Saw</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">* Fart</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">* Cuckoo Clock</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">* Door Bell</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">* Hair Dryer</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">* Turkey</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">* Rain and Thunder</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">You can probably guess which sound effect got the biggest reaction from the children!!!</span>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">After reading "Our Marching Band", I mentioned to the children how fun it would be if WE could form a marching band. I asked if any of the children had brought a musical instrument with them to storytime. After lamenting the fact that no one had an instrument, one youngster came forward and pointed to the box of rhythm instruments laying on a nearby table. "I know, Mrs. B.! We can use THESE instruments!"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">So that's what we did! Children and parents were invited to choose a rhythm instrument and then we marched our band right through the library!</span>Alice Boeckmanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05635705895341519520noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4430476586434465308.post-36135073067838202602018-06-29T09:57:00.001-05:002018-06-29T09:57:56.040-05:00Fun For All Storytime: Let's SING a Story!<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">This Fun For All Storytime was presented at Bellevue Public Library on June 28, 2018.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms";">Each Baby & Me Storytime includes activities that support one or more of the five early literacy practices identified as essential in helping your child develop the skills they need <u>before</u> they can learn to read. The five practices – <b>singing, talking, reading, playing </b>and<b> writing</b> –were developed for Every Child Ready to Read®, an initiative of the Association for Library Services for Children (ALSC) and the Public Library Association (PLA).</span><br />
