What readers are saying about Early
Literacy Storytimes @ your library:
Your book is THE resource for librarians that are working
toward incorporating early literacy information into children's
programs. It is the one tool that does it all--explains early
literacy rational, provides research-based information, and
suggests hundreds of ways to communicate palatable bits of
information to caregivers/parents. I love the book.
We developed a peer coaching method for staff to support
one another as storytime presenters. We used the book for
our study group sessions with lead coaches. It has been instrumental
in helping both experienced and new storytime presenters understand
the concept and the importance of incorporating early literacy
skills into storytimes. --Dorothy
