<strong><span style="color: red;">Ready to Read Skill: Sounds! (Phonological Awareness)</span></strong><br />
Books with sounds are a great way to play with this Ready to Read skill. Read <em>Bark, George</em> and have your child guess which animal the vet will pull out next!<br />
<br />
Books that you can sing along with are a great way to develop your child's ear for different sounds. "Old MacDonald Had a Farm" is a traditional song that has inspired many picture books.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Books with animal sounds are a fun way to build an important Ready to Read skill. <u>Starry Safari</u> is a book full of great ways to interact with your little one. Have them beep the horn on the safari jeep, screech on the brakes and ROAR to scare away the lion!</div>

Touch/Feel books like <u>That's Not My Dragon</u> are a great way to show your toddler new vocabulary. Letting your child feel with her fingers what "knobbly" means is much more effective than a verbal explanation.<br />
<br />
Singing with your child is a great way to introduce words that don't normally come up in conversation.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-245059328641047468.post-28216115648697980532012-02-24T14:30:00.000-08:002012-02-24T14:30:23.952-08:00Forest Animals- Week of February 18-23<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #3d85c6;"><span style="color: black;">This week we took a walk in the Forest</span></span> for our <span style="color: #6aa84f;"><strong>Forest Animal</strong></span> Storytimes!<br />

<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000;">Ready To Read Skill: Vocabulary- Words!</span></b><br />
Talk about words for different textures with your child. Have them repeat the word for "squishy" while they squeeze a toy or doll, or "rough" while rubbing sandpaper.<br />
<br />
Books that show the meanings of concept words, like <u>Circus Opposites</u>, are very helpful for young children to form understandings of more abstract ideas.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-245059328641047468.post-40495004586415673182011-11-30T11:40:00.001-08:002012-02-20T09:48:50.402-08:00Home Sweet Home- Storytimes Week of Nov 26-Dec 1Our Toddler and Preschool Storytimes were about <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e69138;">Houses and Homes:</span></b><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span">Take a book like </span><u>Nail Soup</u><span class="Apple-style-span"> or </span><u>The Little Mouse, The Red Ripe Strawberry and The Big Hungry Bear</u> and act it out! Have you child help add things to the nail soup, or come up with new ways to hide the strawberry from the Big Hungry Bear. Turning books into games is a great way to model how much fun reading can be!<br />
<br />

<u><span style="color: black;">Make a Rainstorm</span></u></div>
<div style="color: red;">
<span style="color: black;">Hear the gentle rain (rub hands together)</span></div>
<div style="color: red;">
<span style="color: black;">Listen to the raindrops (snap fingers)</span></div>
<div style="color: red;">
<span style="color: black;">That rain is really coming down! (slap thighs)</span></div>
<div style="color: red;">
<span style="color: black;">It's really pouring now! (stomp feet)</span></div>
<div style="color: red;">
<span style="color: black;">It's starting to die down (slap thighs)</span></div>
<div style="color: red;">
<span style="color: black;">The rain is slowing (snap fingers)</span></div>
<div style="color: red;">
<span style="color: black;">The rainstorm is almost over (rub hands together)</span></div>

<span style="color: black;">Now here comes the sun! (arch arms overhead)</span><b><br /></b><br />
<br />
<b>Ready 2 Read Skill: Sounds</b></div>
Even very small children love to interact with sounds in books like Ducks Like to Swim. Have your child help "call the rain' with each animal.<br />
<br />
Songs and rhymes are great ways for kids to have fun while developing understanding of different sounds.<br />
<br />
Make a rainstorm with your little one! Show them all the different sounds you can hear in a rainstorm by making them with your hands and feet.<br />

<b>Ready 2 Read Skill: Loving Books</b></div>
Books that encourage interaction are one way of getting squirmy little ones excited about reading. Ask your child to do the actions in <u>How Do You Make Your Baby Smile</u>?<br />
<br />
Pop-up books like <u>The Wide Mouthed Frog</u> are lots of fun and will have your child looking forward to reading time! <br />
<br />
Remember, the best way to show your kids how fun books are, is by loving them yourself! Let your child "catch" you reading something you love!<br />

Repetitive books are great ways to prompt your child about what they think happens next. In <i>POP! Went Another Balloon</i>, ask your child whether Toby will get away from the birds this time.<br />
<br />
Asking questions about what is happening involves your child in an active way. While reading <i>Fantastic Mr. Wani</i>, ask where all the other animals are going. Wonder if Mr. Wani will make it on time to the party.<br />

<br />
Have your child stomp her feet and yell "Boom!" each time you point to the words "Boom, Boom, Boom" in <u>Tyson the Terrible</u>.<br />
<br />
<u></u><br />
Rhyming books like <u>Snappy Little Dinosaurs</u> help to develop awareness of similar sounds.<br />
<br />
<u></u><br />
Sing songs with lots of different sounds that your child can make.<i> If You're A Dino and You Know It</i> gives children many different sounds to play with.<br />

<div>
Your child will love turning the pages on pop-up books like<u> The Very Lazy Ladybug.</u><br />
<u><br /></u><br />
<u>Big Bug, Little Bug</u> is great for showing kids that words mean different things. With the word<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">"BIG"</span> in large font and the word <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">"little"</span> in small font, children begin to understand that print carries meaning.<br />
<br />
Try turning <u>The Itsy, Bitsy Spider</u> upside down and see if your baby notices!</div>

Some great ways to practice this skill with your child include letting your child hold the book and showing them which way to turn the page, using your finger to follow along with the text on the page, and pointing out words and letters on signs when you are out and about. Books we used this week that highlight the use of text are <strong>Maggie's Ball,</strong> where the shape of the text mimics the ball's movements, and <strong>The Pigeon Wants a Puppy, </strong>which uses bubbles to show all of the pigeon's dialogue. If you are worried that your child is too young to use books without tearing the pages, try using cloth or board books that are more durable. Don't forget that the library has books that are sturdy enough for all ages!</div></div><strong><br /></strong>Meganhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12388294095637912661noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-245059328641047468.post-57751175669160464892011-07-13T15:43:00.000-07:002011-07-13T16:29:21.168-07:00Babies Themed Baby Laptime - July 7, 2011This week we talked about babies!<br /><br /><span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-size:100%;"><b><span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);">Our Baby <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Laptime</span> Lineup included:</span></b></span><span style="color:black;"><span style="font-size:100%;"><br />Song - <b>Baby Hop </b>from <i>Diaper Gym</i><br />Book - <b>The Big Book of Beautiful Babies </b>by David Ellwood<br /></span></span></span><span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="color:black;"><span style="font-size:100%;">Rhyme - <b>Up the Railroad Track<br /></b></span></span></span><span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="color:black;"><span style="font-size:100%;">Song - <span style="font-weight: bold;">Little Red Wagon</span><b> </b>from <i>Songs for <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Wiggleworms</span> </i><b><br /></b>Book - <b>Ten Tiny Tickles </b>by Karen Katz<br /></span></span></span><span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="color:black;"><span style="font-size:100%;">Rhyme - <span style="font-weight: bold;">Here Are Baby's Fingers</span></span></span></span><br /><span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="color:black;"><span style="font-size:100%;">Flannel Story - <span style="font-weight: bold;">Five Little Babies Jumping on the Bed</span><b><br /></b></span></span></span><span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="color:black;"><span style="font-size:100%;">Song -<span style="font-weight: bold;">This Is The Way the Ladies Ride</span><b> </b>from <i>Songs for <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Wiggleworms</span> </i></span></span></span><br /><span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="color:black;"><span style="font-size:100%;">Book - <b>You and Me, Baby </b>by Lynn Reiser<br />Rhyme - <span style="font-weight: bold;">One I Love You, Two I Love You</span><br />Song - <b><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">Skinnamarink</span> </b>from <i>Great Big Hits </i>by Sharon, Lois, and Bram<br /><br /></span></span></span><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://kidscatalog.columbuslibrary.org/?q=big%20book%20of%20beautiful%20babies"><img style="cursor: pointer;

Knowing many words will help your child recognize written words and understand what he or she reads. Some great ways to work on this skill include talking to your child about what is going on around you, speaking clearly and using short sentences, and pointing out pictures in books when you say certain words. All the books we looked at this week that are great for building vocabulary- not only the names of the tools, but also the actions they require.Meganhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12388294095637912661noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-245059328641047468.post-57726302601671216452011-06-30T10:37:00.000-07:002011-06-30T10:49:42.187-07:00Bears Baby Laptime - June 30, 2011This week we talked about bears!<br /><br /><span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-size:100%;"><b><span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);">Our Baby <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Laptime</span> Lineup included:</span></b></span><span style="color:black;"><span style="font-size:100%;"><br />Song - <b>Baby Hop </b>from <i>Diaper Gym</i><br />Book - <b>Brown Bear, Brown Bear </b>by Bill Martin, Jr.<br /></span></span></span><span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="color:black;"><span style="font-size:100%;">Rhyme - <b>Up the Railroad Track<br /></b></span></span></span><span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="color:black;"><span style="font-size:100%;">Song - <span style="font-weight: bold;">Little Red Wagon</span><b> </b>from <i>Songs for <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Wiggleworms</span> </i><b><br /></b>Book - <b>Teddy Bears, Teddy Bears </b>by William Windburn<br /></span></span></span><span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="color:black;"><span style="font-size:100%;">Rhyme - <span style="font-weight: bold;">Round and Round the Garden</span></span></span></span><br /><span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="color:black;"><span style="font-size:100%;">Flannel Story - <b>Teddy Wore His Red Shirt<br /></b></span></span></span><span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="color:black;"><span style="font-size:100%;">Song -<span style="font-weight: bold;">Milkshake</span><b> </b>from <i>Songs for <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Wiggleworms</span> </i></span></span></span><br /><span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="color:black;"><span style="font-size:100%;">Book - <b>Bear at Home </b>by Stella Blackstone<br />Rhyme - <span style="font-weight: bold;">Rock the Baby</span><br />Song - <b><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">Skinnamarink</span> </b>from <i>Great Big Hits </i>by Sharon, Lois, and Bram<br /><br /></span></span></span><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://kidscatalog.columbuslibrary.org/?q=brown%20bear%20brown%20bear"><img style="cursor: pointer;

There are many ways to encourage this skill with your child, but the best way is to make reading fun! Some ways to do this include helping your child choose books to read with you, trying funny voices for the characters in the books, having your child help you read by saying a repeating phrase, or choosing books that have a pop-up, lift-the-flap, or die-cut feature.<strong></strong> You can also choose books that you can move along with, like any of the ones we read this week.

Knowing many words will help your child recognize written words and understand what he or she reads. Some great ways to work on this skill include talking to your child about what is going on around you, speaking clearly and using short sentences, and pointing out pictures in books when you say certain words. Books we looked at this week that are great for building vocabulary include <span style="font-weight: bold;">Smash! Mash! Crash!, Mucky Duck, I Ain't Gonna Paint No More,</span> and <span style="font-weight: bold;">I Stink!</span>Meganhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12388294095637912661noreply@blogger.com0
