Go over the five practices:. Talking: Talking with children helps them learn oral language, one of the most critical early literacy skills.
Children learn about language by listening to parents talk and joining in the conversation. Singing: Singing develops language skills. Slows down language so children can hear the different sounds in words. Helps children learn new words and information. Reading: Reading together develops vocabulary and comprehension, nurtures a love for reading, and motivates children to want to learn to read.
Writing: Children become aware that printed letters stand for spoken words as they see print used in their daily lives. Playing: Play is one of the best ways for children to learn language and literacy skills. They learn about language through playing as the activities help them put thoughts into words and talk about what they are doing. A: The 2nd edition of ECRR was developed as a turnkey program consisting of a manual, customizable PowerPoint presentations, and other resources that will allow librarians to present the program without the training that was required for the first edition of the product.
The product is user-friendly and contains less educational jargon, and the workshops are more flexible, more interactive, and modular in nature. There are a variety of different workshops and all may be customized in terms of length, interchangeability of activities, and inclusion of photos and information about your library.
We hope that libraries have integrated those concepts into their programming and that the revised product can be used without extensive demonstration and training. In the future, there will be webinars about early literacy and the product as we gain information about how the profession is using it and to address any questions that may arise.
Librarians are encouraged to continue to communicate with us regarding their experience using the new tools. A: Spanish language bookmarks, brochures, and posters are available. We have begun work on French translations.
The translations involve content development, editing, proofreading, design, and production. We are not able to provide a firm deadline for completion. As translations are a costly and resource-intensive endeavor, at this time the curriculum will only be translated to Spanish and French.
Helpful tip: May we suggest you work with a local volunteer to assist you in translating portions of the slides, so that the presentation works within your community. The language of the new product is simpler and is not as technical as the first edition. For consideration, please submit a jpg image and a short explanation of how the logo will be used to pla ala.
