Every Child Ready to Read Great Sites & Links!

Great websites to help you implement Every Child Ready to Read in the library environment and in storytimes:



Saroj Ghoting’s website at http://www.earlylit.net/ has a wealth of information about ECRR. Be sure to click on programs and on resources on the left side of page for handout and storytime ideas. Also, check out Storytime Share at http://www.earlylit.net/storytimeshare/ .
And check out the Summary of the Early Literacy Components, http://www.earlylit.net/workshopmats/elest2/7elcompsummary.pdf, for a handy chart linking the practices of version 2 to the skills of version 1. Click also on the chart showing how the early literacy components and practices support each other at http://www.earlylit.net/workshopmats/elest2/elcomppracchart.pdf.Play, Grow Read, http://www.kdl.org/kids/go/pgr_main, from Kent District Library. Lots of great ideas for librarians, teachers, caregivers, & parents!

Parents and Kids, Kent District Library handouts of great ideas for organizing play spaces in the library and early literacy activities, http://www.kdl.org/kids/go/PLA2012

Hennepin County Library Early Literacy, http://www.hclib.org/BirthTo6/ELSIE.cfm. Great source for book lists for early literacy skills. Annotated book lists that you can search by one of more of the six skills.

Sanitization of the play areas and materials is part of the closing process and takes very little time. The state of Michigan recommends a mix of one gallon of water to one tablespoon of bleach. Use a spray bottle. Watch the demo:
