Elaine Sarlo of Queen Anne's County Library

 Jessica Crutchley of Baltimore County Public Library

Overwhelmed by adding tips into story time? Join us to explore different ways to design a story time around early literacy practices, use materials in story time to demonstrate those practices to caregivers, and add tips to predesigned story times. You will get the most out of this presentation if you are already familiar with the 5 literacy practices of Every Child Ready to Read 2.

Learning Objectives:

At the conclusion of the program, participants will be able to…

●      develop a story time plan that links an early literacy tip to an activity of their choice.

●      identify at least 1 related early literacy tip when given a common story time tool.

●      integrate early literacy tips into the flow of story time.
