Reading Ready Time - The Three Little Hoosier Pigs

With the Indianapolis Opera

Children 3-6 are invited to a virtual Library visit! Join us for a performance from the Indianapolis Opera. 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.

Join the Indianapolis Opera as they present their version of the classic Three Little Pigs story.  Retelling stories is a great way to help children build background knowledge and comprehension.  After watching this video, read another version and compare – what’s the same?  What’s different?  This kind of analysis encourages deeper understanding and critical thinking.

Additional resources to enhance learning:

• One great way to engage children in storytelling is to take a story they know well and change it just a little bit.  Fairytales and folk tales are a perfect opportunity for this practice.  Check out our blog post about Fractured Fairytales for more suggestions.
• Looking for some good fairytales to incorporate into your repertoire?  Check out this list from the Library.  Don’t forget, librarians are always available to pull together a teacher collection for you.  Just call your local branch.
• Of course, there are directions for arts-related projects galore online, but this pig’s nose would be a really silly and fun way to get kids retelling the story.
