From katie.anderson at state.or.us Tue Aug 10 15:45:56 2010 From: katie.anderson at state.or.us (Katie Anderson) Date: Tue, 10 Aug 2010 22:45:56 +0000 Subject: [kids-lib] Summer Reading and learning disabilities Message-ID: <640435851FD7CB4AB3C4BE0D1963BA240885570E@OSLEXCHANGE.osl.state.or.us.local> I just read the latest Learning Disabilities Online Newsletter and found one item that applies to libraries. This video (7 mins) discusses the importance of summer programs for children with learning disabilities. Many of the things summer reading program already offer align with their recommendations, and we have a little more to learn about how we can make summer reading programs more welcoming for children with disabilities. You can watch the video online at: http://link.brightcove.com/services/player/bcpid13847493001?bclid=6971547001&bctid=81688825001 Here are a few things I took away from the video, and the summer reading ideas they inspired in my mind: * Children with disabilities always focus on what they cannot do. School is often full of daily failures and humiliations. Summer programs should provide experiences that allow them to feel like they can do something. That power of achievement will carry over into the school year. Here are some ideas for the reading component of summer library programs: o Allow children and teens to count listening to audio books or books read aloud on their summer reading records. o If you have an adult summer reading program, allow parents to count the books/time spent reading aloud to their children for the adult program too. o Allow parents and children to set their own reading goals. (A simple way to do this is to have two types of reading logs available, one tracking time spent reading/listening and the other tracking number of books read/listened to. As children sign up, ask which log they want.) o Include a variety of literary materials in your summer program displays and/or lists: audio books, magazines, websites, and literacy development computer games/software. * An enrichment component provides an opportunity to explore and get them excited about something. Summer programs can help children and teens with disabilities learn social skills and take risks. Here are some programming ideas for next year's theme, world culture: o Invite local cultural groups to present a summer reading program about their native culture. o Work with high school/college exchange students to present about their home county to the younger children. o Sample foods from around the world. o Look at and discuss fashion from different countries, then ask teens to model their own fashion and explain how it represents their lives here. o Ask locals with different cultural background to conduct storytimes using picture books, songs, rhymes, and activities that reflect their culture. o Make different crafts from around the world-worry dolls, origami, African masks, etc. o Invite musicians to play music from other cultures-bagpipes (outside!), pan pipes, didgeridoo, etc. o There is a large Native American population in Oregon, contact your local tribe and ask them to present a program. A few more things to remember as you are working with children and teens: * People with disabilities don't want to feel different or have to explain themselves. * People with disabilities may need to go at a slower pace, and may need even more repetition to master skills than their peers. I'm hope this video will reinforce many of the things you're already doing in your summer programs, and start you brainstorming new ideas for next year too!

Libraries play a unique role in afterschool-afterschool is the common term for organized programs, activities or childcare provided for youth in K-12th Grade. Library youth services staff are afterschool providers, and are resources for other afterschool providers looking for materials on child development, behavior management, planning activities, etc. You are an afterschool provider if you conduct summer reading programs, facilitate book clubs for kids, host youth gaming events, or run a teen advisory council! As an afterschool provider you have access to a wider range of professional development opportunities like the Oregon Afterschool Conference. Here are a few sessions at the Oregon Afterschool School Conference that may be of particular interest to children's and teen librarians: The Zone: Partnering with Schools to Support Student Success-Presenter: Krina Lemons Aligning afterschool homework assistance with school day academics is critical in supporting student success.

Engage in the Everyday Practice of Positive Youth Development-Presenter: Pamela Rose When we engage in the everyday practice of positive youth development (PYD), young people thrive! This hands-on workshop will engage participants in digging into the principles of PYD and also putting these principles into everyday practice. Regardless of your position, you can create intentional opportunities for youth to become positively engaged. Respectable Accommodations-Presenter: Lorine Day-Reynolds Making your afterschool program accessible to children with disabilities will require creative and responsive accommodations. This session provides an overview of philosophy of inclusion and insight into what constitutes a "respectful accommodation."

These will nicely support your 2011 summer theme of World Culture/World Travel, for all age groups of children to teenagers to adult. Our first set, published in 2009, displayed basic needs themes of we all dress, eat, work, need a home, and need water. In that first year of our series, we heard from many people about how they are using them: * Multicultural teaching aids for pre-school through high school * Displays at libraries (perfect for summer reading programs) * Teaching aids for EFL and ESL classes, domestic and international * Fund-raising opportunities for RPCV groups and schools We are excited to announce that our second set of posters, generally displaying social needs themes, is now available. Attached is the order form, displaying the images of * we all learn * we all play * we all need friends * we all go places * we all shop We invite you to our website, http://rpcvmadison.org/weall_resources.php, to view the free and downloadable teaching resources, which include a story about each photo, with country map and basic data. The site also has detail on how proceeds from all group fund-raising efforts are spent. Our Madison group has also produced an international calendar for the past 28 years, and that website (http://www.rpcvcalendar.org/) has additional country resources to support your program, such as recipes, adult and children books, music, and movies that focus on the different countries. The year 2011 is also the 50th anniversary of Peace Corps. We believe most RPCV groups throughout the country will be involved in the celebrations. You are also most welcome to order these items directly from your local group and support their fund-raising projects. To find out who they are, go to http://rpcvcalendar.org/order_local. Thank you for your interest in these posters. All proceeds benefit international development projects. -- Char Thompson RPCV Chile 1969-1971 2716 Gregory St. Madison, WI 53711 Home: 608-231-2445 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
