Libraries have a unique opportunity to help children become proficient readers and lifelong learners. Studies have shown that there are six essential skills that children need to develop to be able to read and write. These skills help a child get ready to read years before they start school. The following lessons will discuss these skills and how to incorporate them into the storytimes at your branch as well as reviewing storytime basics. Most of the lessons will take approximately 10 to 15 minutes to read. At the end of each lesson will be a suggested activity to help you practice the principles taught. Check back! We will continue to add lessons.
