RFHF is a statewide early literacy training project administered by the Oregon State Library and the Oregon Commission on Children and Families, and funded with generous grants from the Oregon Community Foundation and the Paul G. Allen Family Foundation. RFHF is free, and you will receive: Training in the national, research-based early literacy curriculum Every Child Ready to Read @ your libraryR Training in dialogic reading, early brain development, phonological games, how to work with high-risk families, how to work with illiterate/low-literate parents, bilingual language development, media literacy, and other related topics you and your colleagues indicate that you would like training in. Opportunities to network with and begin developing partnerships with your local Healthy Start program. A resource kit that contains 11 Every Child Ready to Read @ your libraryR scripts for presenting early literacy education to parents, 4 DVDs on early literacy to show to parents during education sessions, point-of-contact early literacy activities for parents, an easel for displaying point-of-contact activities during education sessions, 4 professional development books on early literacy and storytime ideas (including bilingual storytimes), a travel size flannel board with a few flannel stories, finger puppets, a 6 early literacy skills poster, a rhyme booklet in Spanish and English, a nursery rhyme CD, and 4 cloth/pop-up books. 16 board/picture books to giveaway to the families you provide early literacy education sessions to. There are a few important things to note about the trainings: . Training and resources kits are free. Resource kits will be property of your library, staying there if you leave your job for any reason. . Free breakfast, lunch, and beverages will be served during the training. . If you are traveling 40 miles or more one way to the training you may be eligible for reimbursement of mileage and hotel accommodations. . The application process for each cohort will begin about 1 month prior to the tentative dates listed below. Your director will get an email, and an email will go out on kids-lib. . Space in each cohort is limited, and library staff within the counties specified will have priority. . If extra space is available, library staff from counties that have already had an opportunity to participate in RFHF will be invited to apply. . Library staff may not attend a training prior to when their county is schedule to participate in order to keep data clean for the project evaluation. Reading for Healthy Families is a three-year, statewide project. The 4 primary objectives for RFHF are to: Provide early literacy training and resources to 300 children's library staff and Healthy Start family support workers statewide. The training includes the ECRR curriculum, working with high-risk families, networking/partnership building, bilingual language development, working effectively with parents, media literacy, and working with special needs children. 94 children's library staff and family support workers were trained in Year One. Provide early literacy education to 4,500 families with children 0-5 years old statewide. The children's library staff and family support workers who complete RFHF will each provide early literacy education sessions to 15 families. Approximately 700 families have received early literacy training from RFHF participants thus far. These families now have the knowledge and access to resources to help their children be ready to learn to read when they start kindergarten. Increase the number of qualified Every Child Ready to Read @ your library master trainers in Oregon from 1 to 12. These trainers will be available to conduct certified ECRR training to any organization or agency in the state who wishes to contract with them. This increases access to ECRR training, lays the foundation of a common early literacy curriculum used statewide, and increases the sustainability of early literacy training. 5 standardized ECRR trainers were certified last year! Foster local partnerships among libraries and Healthy Start programs to continue providing early literacy education, activities, and resources for families in their communities long after RFHF is completed. 38 programs participated last year and began developing local partnerships. For even more information, please visit the RFHF website: http://www.oregon.gov/OSL/LD/youthsvcs/rfhf.home.page.shtml.

Many of you work with Family, Friends, and Neighbor (FFN) childcare providers in your libraries or through outreach programs. These are the providers who are not licensed. They are the aunt caring for all her nieces and nephews, the person who cares for her friends' children, and the neighbor who cares for several children on the block. Some of these caregivers don't identify themselves as childcare providers, and even more don't realize there are resources available for them. These are often the childcare providers libraries have the most difficult time connecting with and providing services to. This year the statewide Family, Friends, and Neighbors Network offered FFN providers an orientation to Employment Related Daycare and a toolkit. Approximately 764 FFN providers participated in the orientation and received a toolkit. The toolkit included many things, including children's books, early literacy information, and information about public libraries. The evaluation of the toolkit project has just been released, and it contains valuable information about reading and library usage. My contact, Kim Cardona, at the Oregon Commission on Children and Families says: "The Employment Related Daycare orientations have proven to be very successful, and they will become mandatory in July 2010. Additional toolkits have been purchased by Oregon Commission on Children & Families and will continue to be distributed. For additional information, contact Mark Anderson, Oregon Child Care Resource & Referral Network, 503-375-2644." Below I have copied and pasted out the findings of particular interest to libraries. The full report available online at: http://tiny.cc/tmCkF. Attached is more information about this project. Unfortunately, attachments don't always work via listservs so please let me know if you want me to email the FFN project information attachment to you directly. These results seem to show that FFN providers know about the library, and that they increase the amount of time reading to children when provided with early literacy information and books. Unfortunately, many of them are not using the library. How can we reach out to them and either get them into the library or bring library services to them? >>>>>>>>>> The percentage of caregivers who reported reading five or more times over the past week to the children they care for increased from 33% to 46%. The percentage of caregivers who reported having 11 or more children's books in their home increased from 77% to 85%. The percentage of caregivers who owned a library card increased slightly from 72% to 74% and the percentage who reported using the Public Library increased from 57% to 70%.

There has been much buzz about Ode Magazine's article, "Summer vacations cause disadvantaged children to fall behind" on the Youth Service Consultants listserv. The article summarizes an interview with Karl Alexander, a sociology professor at John Hopkins University, who conducted a study on the achievement gap for the past 27 years. The study shows the importance of visiting the library over the summer, and may be of use when advocating for your library. Read the article online at: http://www.odemagazine.com/doc/62/summer-vacations/ Key points from the article: . Education outside the classroom, through summertime activities rooted in family life, can boost kids' prospects for the future. . We've learned that summer vacations cause disadvantaged children to fall behind, whereas children from privileged families still make progress. . Low-income families are less likely to read books; go to the library, museum or theater; take music lessons; or do organized sports activities. Yet these experiences make a difference, with a visit to the library being the most discriminating factor of all.

Our storytimes have grown exponentially in our new library and we want to make sure every child has a good experience at storytime. We are finding that in crowds of 50+, it is difficult for all of the children to see the pictures in the picture books. While using big books is sometimes an option, as we all know, not all great books are available in big book format. I'm hoping that some of you facing a similar issue have come up with great solutions that we can try here in Tualatin. Adding more storytimes to our packed schedules is not an option and we would rather try other solutions than limiting the number of attendees.

Message-ID: 2009 Oregon Summer Reading Certificates are still available! (They are FREE!) Please contact Mary Mayberry, mary.l.mayberry at state.or.us, to order hard copies Download and print it at: http://tiny.cc/t2Uiq Be Creative @ your library These certificates are for children and young adults (0-18) who complete your library's summer reading program. They do NOT specify that a child had to read ten books to get the certificate so they will work with whatever type of program you have at your library! But, you should be aware that the press release that was sent out states: "Students may receive a certificate when they have completed their library's summer reading program or read/listened to 10 books between May 15th and September 15th." Therefore, you may have some people bring in a list of 10 books they read/listened to get a certificate without participating in your library's summer reading program. Give these students certificates for completing the Oregon Department of Education's summer reading program. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: This year the Oregon Department of Education, Oregon State Library, and Oregon Library Association has again coordinated their efforts to provide a joint Oregon Summer Reading Certificate with funding from the Oregon Education Association. This effort signifies the commitment of schools and libraries to the education of Oregon's youth. In the past, the Oregon Department of Education (ODE) awarded Summer Reading Certificates for students who read ten books over the summer. The certificates were distributed via education service districts, school librarians, and public libraries. Nothing has changed about this program, except for the certificate. The certificate now has the national Collaborative Summer Library Program artwork on it and is signed by the State Librarian, Jim Scheppke, and the State Superintendent of Public Instruction, Susan Castillo. Public libraries will award Oregon Summer Reading Certificates to youth who complete their summer reading program or who provide a list of the ten books they read over the summer. Libraries are not required to keep records of the names of participating children nor the lists of books they read. Educators may request hardcopies of the certificates from Stephanie at ode.getready at state.or.us. Thank you for participating in the Oregon Summer Reading Program!

I've attached a copy of her spreadsheet, and cut and past the list below because attachments often don't work went sent via listservs. I'm sure you want to take a little break from summer reading before the 2010 manuals are distributed in November so just file this away until then.
