Reading Ready Time - Books about Books!

with Ms. Jess

Children 3-6 are invited to a virtual Library visit! Join us for a storytime all about books. Visit https://bit.ly/readingreadytime for this program.

Reading Ready Time is a virtual library experience specifically designed to help children 3-6 years old get ready to read and connect with the Library. Programs will be available for a limited time following the premiere on our YouTube channel.

Jess Neeb-Smith, librarian extraordinaire and Herbert Simon Early Literacy Specialist, presents a fun-filled storytime with books about…books!  Enjoy stories, games, and songs all geared to get your kids engaging in the five practices of early literacy: reading, writing, singing, talking, and playing.  This storytime supports Indiana Learning Standard ELA 2.3: Demonstrates awareness and understanding of concepts of print.

Additional resources to enhance learning:

• It may seem silly but there is quite a large collection of books about books.  Check out some of Ms. Jess’s favorites.
• You can find a zillion of ways to make books online.  Jennifer Hier includes three simple ideas on her website.
• Even though preschoolers may not know the term “genre,” they can easily recognize that there are many kinds of books.  Give them a shot at sorting your book collection.  Preschoolers are creative thinkers; they will probably come up with ways of sorting grown-ups would never consider.
