Reading Ready Time - Feelings Storytime

Children 3-6 are invited to a virtual Library visit! Join us from home to sing along, listen to a story, see new places, and meet amazing people. This week we share books that explore feelings and practice some ways to recenter. 

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.  We hope this program will help them make a connection, building on their path to becoming lifelong learners. Young children are just learning how to express how they feel and self-regulation is often the most difficult piece. In this week's episode, Feelings, we read some books that can help children to name their emotions and examples of ways to regulate. Other Reading Ready Time episodes can be found on our YouTube channel. 

Additional resources: 

• Books truly are a wonderful way to help children understand complicated things.  The characters share their experiences, allowing children to feel heard.  Check out this collection of books about feelings. 
• Childhood 101 has printable emotions cards and suggestions for how to use them. 
• Download and print these free faces playdough mats from Picklebums. Make a face in the mirror and see if your child can recreate the feeling with playdough.
