Subject: [kids-lib] Bobby Norfolk in Oregon
Message-ID: <0420E281B583654FAE6DAE3229867F560862A473@JEFFERSON.dpls.lib.or.us>

If you've never had the chance to hear and watch the storyteller Bobby Norfolk, here's that chance.  Bobby is considered one of the finest storytellers in the nation, and has been a leading force in the National Storytelling Network for years.  His unique style of vaudeville comedy combined with African American influence make him highly entertaining.  But he also does "serious" work, such as a presentation about York with the Lewis and Clark expedition.  Bobby and I have performed together over the years, and he's interested in performing in Bend as our StoryStar in the summer of 2012.  We're doing all that we can to make that happen!  He would also love to have some other opportunities to perform throughout Oregon.  If you think you might be interested in hiring Bobby, and sharing travel expenses, please contact me, and then I'll send the information on to his agent.   Here's a link to his promotional video so you can see a bit of Bobby.   Believe me, you and your patrons will love him!

Message-ID: <640435851FD7CB4AB3C4BE0D1963BA241BFA2D4F@OSLEXCHANGE.osl.state.or.us.local>

Posted on behalf of all State Library staff:


ANNOUNCEMENT...You still have an opportunity to honor Jim Scheppke as he retires from the Oregon State Library.
You have 2 choices!

?  Make a donation<http://www.givetotbabs.org/> to Talking Book and Braille Services in Jim's honor

?  Post a comment on Jim's blog<http://jimscheppkeretires.blogspot.com/> - Virtual Retirement Party
__________________________________________
...here is the information we sent you Nov. 4th:

For the past 20 years, Jim Scheppke has persistently applied his skills and expertise to improve library services in Oregon as State Librarian. Earlier this year Jim announced his plans to retire from public service at the end of 2011. This created a new challenge - how to honor Jim for the incredible service he has provided to Oregonians?

Jim didn't want a traditional retirement party. "Too many greenhouse gas emissions, not to mention unwanted calories," he said. So instead we are having a Virtual Retirement Party - carbon neutral and heart healthy!

To celebrate, Jim wants all his colleagues and associates to post a good wish, photo or a memory to his blog. You can even ask Jim a question. Jim will reply to every post!

http://jimscheppkeretires.blogspot.com

On his blog page you will find a slideshow of his years at the State Library, his farewell speech to OLA, career highlights, and more. In lieu of gifts or flowers Jim hopes you will consider a donation in his honor to his favorite charity, our own Talking Book and Braille Services.<http://givetotbabs.org/>

It will mean a lot to Jim for you to send him a post. Enjoy the Jim Scheppke Virtual Retirement Party!

Message-ID: <640435851FD7CB4AB3C4BE0D1963BA241BFA2D92@OSLEXCHANGE.osl.state.or.us.local>

Hello! I just received the following email about upcoming webinars from ALA's Association of Library Services to Children

These short (one to two hour) interactive sessions taking place in Adobe Connect give librarians and library support staff the opportunity to learn right at their desks.  The only necessary tools are a computer and the internet.  Webinars are highly affordable, and because they're interactive, students get the benefit of sharing ideas with one another and networking from afar.

They cost $55 for individuals and $195 for groups. In case you couldn't make the live session, also available are select webinar archives for $25.

Questions?  Contact:

Several people have inquired about Bobby Norfolk's rates.  I'm not going to get into the middle of that discussion, because he is expensive but he's giving us a good rate, and I'm sure he and his agent will negotiate if he gets more opportunities in Oregon.  So all I can do at this point is pass along the contact information for anyone who might be interested in hosting Bobby, and then the agent and/or Bobby will be in touch.

fabulous  experience!  To call him a storyteller does not begin to describe
his unique style!

Return on Investment (ROI) has become the mantra of library management and libraries need to show accountability for collection decisions.

TECHNOLOGY
December 7
Facebook Features Update (Common Knowledge) Join us for the latest edition of our bi-monthly installment of our series presenting the latest innovations from Facebook and how they impact nonprofits.  In this interactive webinar, we highlight the newest features released from Facebook, explain their function and role in Facebook, and most importantly, dig into why and how they are valuable for nonprofits - for fundraising, marketing, communications, advocacy, events, etc. For more information and to register for this program, visit: https://cc.readytalk.com/cc/s/showReg?udc=w6owpxmvs2le
Building Digital Communities through Blogs and Social Networking (Infopeople) To remain relevant in today's world, libraries need to build an online presence. With the proliferation of technology advances, it's not always easy to keep up with the latest trends or understand how to master the technology to use it effectively and efficiently. This one-hour webinar will focus on how you can build a digital community through the use of blogs and social networks. This webinar will be of interest to library staff ready to embrace online technologies to engage their patrons. For more information and to register for this program, visit: http://infopeople.org/training/view/webinar
 December 8
The Challenging Business of Kids' Apps  (O'Reilly) The kids' app market is rapidly expanding and getting better, with more choices every day. Great for kids and parents - challenging for developers.

 December 13
The iPad and Communication Transitions for Young Adults  (Accessible Technology Coalition) As children who use communication devices become young adults, their environments, needs, and interests are likely to change quickly and dramatically. The vocabulary and equipment that they have previously used will need to change accordingly. Because of the flexibility and "normalcy" of the iPad, it may be uniquely well suited to address these changes at a relatively low cost. This webinar will provide information on apps for the iPad that are well suited for the changing needs of the child as they transition from high school to higher education or a work environment. For more information and to register for this program, visit: http://atcoalition.org/trainings
ADVOCACY
December 6
Education, Advocacy and Lobbying - Oh My!: What's Allowed (and What's Not) When Reaching out to Elected Officials (ALA) Politicians, lobbyists and advocates alike use the terms "education," "advocacy" and "lobbying" interchangeably.   But what do they all mean?  When associated with a government agency or a non-profit it can be very confusing to know what's allowed - and what will land you in hot water.  In this session we'll look at both the letter and the spirit of the law when it comes to lobbying and advocacy, as well as specific criteria you can use to assess your own situation.  Since local library supporters, whether staff, friends, trustee or board members, have the most influence in the legislative process, it's important to know just how far you can go in connecting them with policymakers.  Believe it or not, you have more latitude than you think.  And, of course, as a private citizen no one can curtail your right to speak up and make a difference. For more information and to register for this program, visit: https://www2.gotomeeting.com/register/222077842
December 14
A Small But Powerful Webinar for Winning Big Support for Your Rural Library   (WebJunction) Join us for an introduction to the revised edition of the popular Small But Powerful Guide to Winning Big Support for Your Rural Library, a new toolkit from the American Library Association's Committee on Rural, Native, and Tribal Libraries of All Kinds, Office for Literacy and Outreach Services, and the Association for Rural and Small Libraries. This webinar will introduce you to the tips and strategies presented in the toolkit, share the experiences of a rural librarian who has built support for her library, and introduce you to some of the additional advocacy tools and resources from the American Library Association. For more information and to register for this program, visit: http://www.webjunction.org/events/webinars
OTHER TOPICS
 December 12
Change Happens (InSync Training) It's been said that, "The "only people who like change are wet babies and busy cashiers." In this session we'll explore your own reactions/responses to change and look at ways to become more proactive and positive. We will also take a look at the elements of organizational change, strategies for dealing with the conflicts that inevitably occur, and the role you can play in being effective as change unfolds. For more information and to register for this program, visit: http://www.insynctraining.com/complimentary-programs.htm
 December 15
Choosing the Right Communications Mix (Idealware) It doesn't make sense to communicate through only one channel.  These days, it often makes sense to not only consider email, direct mail, and websites as potential channels, but also social networking sites, blogs, online communities, and more.  Which channels make sense to communicate what kind of messages, or to encourage action?  What's actually working in what situations?  We'll provide a decision making structure to help you define what makes sense for you. For more information and to register for this program, visit: http://idealware.org/online-training
Let's Get Crazy! Library Programs On and Over the Edge (Infopeople)  Do you want to surprise your community with exceptional programs? Are you curious to learn what new and unexpected programs other libraries are doing? It's easy to get stuck in a rut and book the same old performers and speakers. Why not break out of your comfort zone and develop programs that are striking, original, and important! Start asking bigger questions in order to make a bigger impact in your community. But first - get thee to this webinar with other library staff who are reaching for the crazy switch! Before the 60 minutes are up, attendees will: know what a "crazy" program looks like and when a program is not "crazy" enough, acquire new tools and a new perspective for developing more impactful and experimental programs, learn about libraries that have successfully delivered innovative programs, and be able to apply the ideas in this presentation to programs at their libraries to better serve their communities.For more information and to register for this program, visit: http://infopeople.org/training/view/webinar
Proposal Budgeting Basics (Grantspace) Learn to prepare and present a budget in a grant proposal. This session, geared to the novice grantseeker, will cover such topics as: What is included under the "personnel" section and how to calculate it? What level of detail do you need to include for non-personnel expenses? How do you determine reasonable costs? What types of expenses are considered "overhead"? What other financial documents will funders want to see? Prior attendance at Proposal Writing Basics is strongly recommended.

Hi!  One of our colleagues in New Jersey caught a small mistake in the summer reading manual.

The DVD title should be Wallace and Gromit in the Curse of the Were-Rabbit, not Vampire. Page 235 in the Night Shivers chapter.-- Jessica Bauer

If you plan to use this page, please be sure to note this correction.

Subject: [kids-lib] Literacy in the Sciences: free resources!
Message-ID: <640435851FD7CB4AB3C4BE0D1963BA241BFA515C@OSLEXCHANGE.osl.state.or.us.local>

Hello!  I just received the latest Reading Rockets<http://www.readingrockets.org/> newsletter and learned that their website now has a section dedicated to resources on science, called Literacy in the Sciences<http://www.readingrockets.org/extras/stem_series/>.  Many libraries have started integrating some science and math based activities into their programming.  This may be a great resource to help you get started!

In my brief exploration of Literacy in the Sciences I noticed ready-to-use tips sheets<http://www.readingrockets.org/extras/stem_series/#STEM_tipsheets> that include information for parents to help them do science activities with their children at home and book lists! Here is an example of how you might use these during your regular preschool storytime:

  *   Select 3-4 picture books that, after reading aloud, kids can make comparisons that they can graph.  For example:
     *   Baby Duck in the Rain by Amy Hest: ask kids "What color are your rain boots/rain jacket/umbrella" and physically line the kids up according to color of rain gear and discuss which line is longer, which is shorter, what is the most/least common color of rain gear, etc.
     *   The Doorbell Rang by Pat Hutchins: ask kids "What is your favorite kind of cookie" and create a bar graph with 3-4 types of cookies and an "other" category, give each child one paper cookie, have kids come tape their paper cookie in the appropriate column, then have a similar discussion about which column is tallest/shortest, which cookie is most/least liked, etc.  Give them real cookies to eat! If possible, leave the graph up until the next storytime because kids may come back to the library and enjoy talking about it more or showing another family member. If you must have a craft, perhaps kids could decorate/color their paper cookies before putting them on the graph--that also may help you manage the flow of kids putting their cookies on the graph.
  *   Tell parents "One way to help prepare your child for school is to do simple math and science activities like the ones we did today that related to your child's experiences and interests. Here is a handout with tips for doing graphing activities at home and picture books you can read to reinforce the concepts."
  *   Distribute the Creating Bar Graphs<http://www.readingrockets.org/pdfs/edextras/43814-en.pdf%20> tips sheet from Reading Rockets
  *   Have a variety of age-appropriate math and science concept library materials on display to make it easy for parents to grab something to checkout and go.

If the hyperlinks don't work, here are the URLs which you can copy and paste into your browser.  If that doesn't work, try doing an internet search on "Reading Rockets Literacy in the Sciences".

Subject: [kids-lib] Announcing the 2011 Oregon Summer Reading Brief
Message-ID: <640435851FD7CB4AB3C4BE0D1963BA241BFA5742@OSLEXCHANGE.osl.state.or.us.local>

The 2011 Oregon Summer Reading Brief<http://www.oregon.gov/OSL/LD/youthsvcs/srp.certificates/OSLsrpBrief2011.pdf> has just been published!  The SRP brief is a compilation of data that Oregon public libraries reported this September via the Summer Reading Statistics and Ordering Survey.  The SRP brief provides a picture of summer reading participation in Oregon. On the summer reading webpage<http://www.oregon.gov/OSL/LD/youthsvcs/oregon.srp.certificate.shtml#Oregon_Summer_Reading_Briefs> you will find the SRP brief in both a pdf and word.docx format. Libraries are encouraged to use the word.docx as a template to create their own summer reading brief to share their statistics with their library board, city council, commissioners, and other library stake holders.

Based on requests from several libraries, the State Library is now publishing the Summer Reading Statistics Spreadsheet<http://www.oregon.gov/OSL/LD/youthsvcs/srp.certificates/OregonSRPstatistics2011.pdf>.  This allows you to compare participation in summer reading at your library to similar libraries in Oregon.  In addition, I included the population of children 0-14 years old from the 2011-2012 Ready to Read Grant list and calculated the % of those children who signed-up and finished so you can get a better idea of the reach your program has in your community. This spreadsheet also includes adult summer reading statistics.

Enjoy!

Hello all,

It's time to launch the 2012 Teen Summer Reading Video Challenge. If you remember, last year was the first year of the contest and it was the brain child of folks at the Collaborative Summer Library Program (CSLP). Each participating state runs the contest locally, winners are selected for each state, and are featured on the cslpreads.org website. Oregon teens are encouraged to create and submit 30-90 second PSAs promoting the summer reading program. The deadline for submissions is Saturday, March 3. All submissions will be posted to a YouTube channel which will be open for users to vote for their favorite videos by "Liking" them. The final winner will be selected by a panel of judges from OYAN. I've attached Oregon's entry form which includes contest rules, and I encourage you to check out the contest resources on the CSLP website<http://cslpreads.org/programs/young-adult-program/2012-teen-video-challenge.html>. I've also included some suggestions below about implementing the contest at your school or library. Please let me know if you have any questions. Note that while submitted videos must be posted online, paper forms need to be signed and submitted to me.

Video Contest Programming

 *   Plan a video making workshop using free video editing software like Windows Live Movie Maker.
 *   Invite folks from local cable access or film centers to teach a movie making workshop and/or provide equipment.
 *   Try animation workshops using Machinima<http://www.machinima.org/machinima-faq.html> or stop motion animation.
 *   While the library is closed, make the space available for movie makers. Provide cardboard, markers and crayons to create set pieces.

 *   Partner with a school or library. Many schools have media labs and may include PSAs as part of their curriculum.
 *   Partner with local youth groups like 4H Tech Wizards<http://extension.oregonstate.edu/metro4h/techwizards>.

 *   Consider tying the contest into Teen Tech Week (March 6-12). You could screen submissions at a celebration.

 *   Consider offering prizes for winners and runners up you select locally, but be sure that ALL submissions are sent to me for the state-wide contest.


 All Oregon public, volunteer, and tribal libraries are members of the Collaborative Summer Library Program (CSLP), and receive a free summer reading manual.  To get the most out of your membership, create an account on the CSLP website (http://www.cslpreads.org/) and you will be able to access additional summer reading resources. CSLP membership dues and manual fees are paid for by the State Library with LSTA funds. Summer reading manuals are distributed by OLA's Children's Services Division, and both CSD and OYAN members represent you on CSLP committees and at the CSLP annual meeting.

 For more information contact one of your CSLP representatives:

[Please excuse any duplication due to cross-posting.]

Hello all! Earlier this week, I sent the message below announcing the 2012 Teen Summer Reading Video Challenge. I've had some great questions since then, so I wanted to send you more information. Please let me know if there's anything else you'd like to know.



? CSLP Video Submission Criteria

        The video will include the teen's interpretation of the 2012 CSLP teen slogan "Own the Night" and promote reading and libraries.

        The video has a clear message and is delivered in a creative way.

        The video must be usable to promote summer reading at any public library nationwide: the promotion of a specific library is not acceptable, the video should not state "visit the ABC Public Library" but it is OK for the signage of a public library to appear in the video.

        The video must be designed for use at any library and be appropriate for viewing by audiences of all ages.

        All materials used must be created by the teen(s), or be in the public domain.

        The length of the video must be at least 30 seconds long and no longer than 90 seconds.

        The video entry form must have the name of a CSLP member library.

        All entries must include signed Model Release form(s).

        Once the winning video is determined, the state member will contact the winner and obtain a DVD of the winning video.

As the criteria above states, videos should feature teen interpretations of the 2012 teen SRP slogan "Own the Night" and promote reading and libraries in general rather than specific library programs. Videos should definitely focus on teen programs over programs for adults and kids. Here's the link to last year's winners if you want some shining examples: http://www.cslpreads.org/winners.html

Warmly,
Lisa

Subject: 2012 Teen Summer Reading Video Challenge

[Please excuse any duplication due to cross-posting.]

Hello all,

It's time to launch the 2012 Teen Summer Reading Video Challenge. If you remember, last year was the first year of the contest and it was the brain child of folks at the Collaborative Summer Library Program (CSLP). Each participating state runs the contest locally, winners are selected for each state, and are featured on the cslpreads.org website. Oregon teens are encouraged to create and submit 30-90 second PSAs promoting the summer reading program. The deadline for submissions is Saturday, March 3. All submissions will be posted to a YouTube channel which will be open for users to vote for their favorite videos by "Liking" them. The final winner will be selected by a panel of judges from OYAN. I've attached Oregon's entry form which includes contest rules, and I encourage you to check out the contest resources on the CSLP website<http://cslpreads.org/programs/young-adult-program/2012-teen-video-challenge.html>. I've also included some suggestions below about implementing the contest at your school or library. Please let me know if you have any questions. Note that while submitted videos must be posted online, paper forms need to be signed and submitted to me.

Video Contest Programming

 *   Plan a video making workshop using free video editing software like Windows Live Movie Maker.
 *   Invite folks from local cable access or film centers to teach a movie making workshop and/or provide equipment.
 *   Try animation workshops using Machinima<http://www.machinima.org/machinima-faq.html> or stop motion animation.
 *   While the library is closed, make the space available for movie makers. Provide cardboard, markers and crayons to create set pieces.

 *   Partner with a school or library. Many schools have media labs and may include PSAs as part of their curriculum.
 *   Partner with local youth groups like 4H Tech Wizards<http://extension.oregonstate.edu/metro4h/techwizards>.

 *   Consider tying the contest into Teen Tech Week (March 6-12). You could screen submissions at a celebration.

 *   Consider offering prizes for winners and runners up you select locally, but be sure that ALL submissions are sent to me for the state-wide contest.


 All Oregon public, volunteer, and tribal libraries are members of the Collaborative Summer Library Program (CSLP), and receive a free summer reading manual.  To get the most out of your membership, create an account on the CSLP website (http://www.cslpreads.org/) and you will be able to access additional summer reading resources. CSLP membership dues and manual fees are paid for by the State Library with LSTA funds. Summer reading manuals are distributed by OLA's Children's Services Division, and both CSD and OYAN members represent you on CSLP committees and at the CSLP annual meeting.

 For more information contact one of your CSLP representatives:

 *   Gayle Waiss, CSD Summer Reading Chair: gwaiss at siuslaw.lib.or.us<mailto:gwaiss at siuslaw.lib.or.us>
 *   Jessica Marie, CSD Summer Reading Incoming Chair: Jmarie at cityofsalem.net<mailto:Jmarie at cityofsalem.net>

The 2012 Letters About Literature reading and writing contest begins September 15, 2011

All entries must be postmarked January 6, 2012

Letters About Literature is a national reading and writing contest.  Students write letters to an author explaining how that author's book changed their way of thinking about the world or themselves.  There are three competition levels:  Level I for 4th-6th graders, Level II for 7th-8th graders, and Level III for 9th-12th graders.  Oregon's three winners (one from each competition level) will go on to compete nationally.  Entry forms and guidelines are now available online.

  *   If you are submitting several letters for the students you work with, please use the class set entry forms and guidelines<http://www.lettersaboutliterature.org/yahoo_site_admin/assets/docs/Guidelines_School_Library_2012_pdf.213142425.pdf>.
  *   If you are distributing entry forms and guidelines to students directly, please distribute the individual entry form and guidelines<http://lettersaboutliterature.org/yahoo_site_admin/assets/docs/Guidelines_Individual_2012_pdf.249113001.pdf>.

Librarians and teachers can download and print posters, bookmarks, and stickers to distribute to your students and patrons. Lesson plans and an outline connecting Letters About Literature to national language arts and reading standards are available online<http://www.oregon.gov/OSL/LD/youthsvcs/aboutlit.shtml>.

In 2011 over 900 students in Oregon entered the contest, and 1 in 11 of them received cash prizes or gift certificates to Borders bookstore. These prizes are made possible through support from the Oregon Reading Association, Oregon Association of School Libraries, and the Oregon Library Association's Children Services Division and Young Adult network.

At the national level 6 winners and 12 honorable mentions will be selected.  National winners receive a $500 Target gift certificate and a $10,000 grant to donate to the public or school library of the winner's choice.  Honorable mentions receive a $100 Target gift certificate and a $1,000 grant to donate to the public or school library of their choice.

Please visit the website<http://www.oregon.gov/OSL/LD/youthsvcs/aboutlit.shtml> for more information or contact Katie Anderson<mailto:katie.anderson at state.or.us?subject=LAL%20question>, coordinator of the Letters About Literature activities in Oregon.

Hi! I was just asked where/how to acquire the 2012 summer reading fonts and thought most of you would want to know too. These proprietary fonts are available for free to CSLP member libraries. All public, tribal, and volunteer libraries in Oregon are member libraries.

Here is what to do:

  *   Go to: http://www.cslpreads.org/

  *   Login (or Create Account--it's free, but necessary because only CSLP member libraries are allowed to access the free downloads.)
  *   In the green space under the yellow navigation bar new navigation buttons will appear after you login.
  *   Click on "Proprietary Downloads"
  *   Click on "Fonts" in the left-navigation that appears in the white box in the middle of the screen.
  *   Click on the font(s) you want and follow the instructions provided to download fonts
  *   If you have trouble, contact:
     *   Karen Day, CSLP Director of Administrative Services (karen.day at cslpreads.org<mailto:karen.day at cslpreads.org>),
     *   Karen Yother, CSLP Vendor Committee Chair (responsible for art/graphics) ?(kareny at communitylibrary.net<mailto:kareny at communitylibrary.net>), and/or
     *   Laura Lee Wilson, CSLP Web Site Committee Chair (lwilson at holmeslib.org<mailto:lwilson at holmeslib.org>)

CSLP membership dues and manual fees are paid for by the State Library with LSTA funds. Summer reading manuals are distributed by OLA's Children's Services Division (CSD), the CSLP feedback survey is administered annually by OLA's Young Adult Network (OYAN), and both CSD and OYAN members represent you on CSLP committees and at the CSLP annual meeting.

ALSC?s Great Websites for Kids Relaunches with New Look

Great Websites for Kids (GWS) (www.ala.org/greatsites or gws.ala.org), the Association for Library Service to Children?s (ALSC) online website directory, has been completely redesigned. The updated site boasts a fresh and colorful kid-friendly look and interactive social media enhancements.

Clear, bright icons display subject categories and appear on every page, while eye-catching thumbnail images provide a visual preview of each great site represented. Special sections highlight Sites of the Week and Month, Most Popular pages, and Top Rated selections. Prompts for each site offer ?more selections like this.?

Visitors can actively connect with the site and further their online experience by rating sites; sharing their favorites on social media sites such as Facebook; and emailing recommendations to friends.

?Great Websites for Kids is a prime example of the essential work librarians do in disseminating high quality information,? said Mary Fellows, ALSC President. ?The GWS transformation is a content-rich, visually exciting advancement for a terrific tool.?

The recent updates to GWS are part of a two-phase makeover for the popular site. Phase two improvements will take place in 2012 and include further development of ?social? functionality and interactivity.

 Libraries website and blog
Message-ID: <640435851FD7CB4AB3C4BE0D1963BA241C323669@OSLEXCHANGE.osl.state.or.us.local>

The Youth Services Best practices for Oregon Libraries website and blog is now available!
http://orysbestpractices.wordpress.com/

What will you find?

*         A blog that will be my venue for sharing information, resources, and research about summer reading.  There are already 2 entries about things I haven't shared via this listserv so check them out!

*         Research-based components of high-quality summer reading programs that we developed by the State Library and the OLA's Children's Services Division (CSD) and Young Adult Division (OYAN).

*         Examples of specific Oregon libraries that are already implementing components of high-quality summer reading programs.

*         Links to other helpful, informative web sites.

What should you know?

*         If your library is implementing one or more of the components of high-quality summer reading programs and would like to be added to this web site let me know, the more examples the better!

*         If you know of and would like to share summer reading articles, resources, and research email them to me. I'll either post it on this blog or email it out via the listservs on your behalf.

*         I'm not perfect (gasp!), please email me if you notice any spelling errors, typos, broken links so I can correct them.

*         The outreach and early literacy pages of this website are a work in progress.  They will be developed over the next few years as I research these topics and work with CSD and OYAN to write the research-based components of high-quality outreach and early literacy services. As they are developed, I will start posting about these topics on the blog too.

Hopefully this will be a helpful resources for you.

Enjoy,
Katie
