From katie.anderson at state.or.us Tue Jul 1 12:10:32 2014 From: katie.anderson at state.or.us (Katie Anderson) Date: Tue, 1 Jul 2014 19:10:32 +0000 Subject: [kids-lib] Summer reading update (how to order more certificates and sweepstakes materials) Message-ID: <640435851FD7CB4AB3C4BE0D1963BA24457ECD84@OSLEXCHANGE.osl.state.or.us.local> As of June 27th the Oregon College Savings Plan has received 1,840 Fuzz Boom Save! entries-over 200 more than they had received at this time last year. In mid June, the Oregon College Savings Plan staff traveled to six libraries in eastern Oregon (Hermiston, Pendleton, Enterprise, La Grande, Baker City and Grant County) as part of their sponsorship of summer reading performers and the Ready to Learn program. They traveled with Jason Ropp, of Dragon Theater Puppets, who performed for families at each location. They truly enjoyed meeting staff at the libraries as well as the Ready to Learn team, and gained a genuine understanding of how hard everyone works to make summer reading and Ready to Learn a success. In an effort to promote summer reading at public libraries and saving for college beyond the 15 sweepstakes winners, the Oregon College Savings Plan also sponsors a KATU media partnership and a summer reading performer at legally established public libraries serving fewer than 10,000. * Watch the second AM Northwest spot and meet one of the performers. * View the KATU Fizz Boom Save webpage. * View the Oregon College Savings Plan's Fizz Boom Save webpage. Need more Oregon Summer Reading Certificates? * Order hardcopies while supplies last by emailing ferol.weyand at state.or.us. * Download and print certificates from the State Library's summer reading page. Need more Fizz Boom Save! materials from the Oregon College Savings Plan for the summer reading sweepstakes? * Order more by emailing KGriffin at tiaa-cref.org.

SL3 is a partnership with the Oregon State Library, OregonASK, National Summer Learning Association, Summer Food Oregon, Bazillion Books, and local schools and public libraries. What should I know about SL3? * Participating schools are required to contact their local public library to ask if you are able to partner with them to provide your summer reading program at the school's library.

What can I do to start an SL3 site at a school in my community? * Learn what level of involvement is required by reading the 2013 SL3 Project Overview (attached) * Schedule a meeting with your contact at the school to start talking about how you can partner to meet the required involvement and keep their school library open next summer in conjunction with free summer lunch. * Download, fill out, and submit the 2015 SL3 Interest Form (attached) * If you have questions about the requirements and interest form, please contact Lynn Kneeland (lynn.kneeland at oregonask.org).

Chicago, IL: ALA Editions. 978-0-8389-1219-5. Since children develop the critical language and early reading skills necessary to enter kindergarten between birth and age five, reading aloud is one of the most influential steps librarians, teachers, parents, and caregivers can take to foster preschoolers' literacy skills. Early exposure to books heavily influences vocabulary knowledge, which in turn improves later reading skills and helps foster lifelong literacy. Highlighting more than 300 birth-kindergarten titles, Bailey offers * A hand-picked selection of quality books adeptly chosen to help develop crucial literacy skills such as expressive and receptive language, expanded vocabularies, narrative skills, print awareness, the ability to understand written language, awareness of story structure, alphabetic knowledge, and phonological sensitivity * Thorough annotation of each title, including a full bibliographic record, a short summary, and journal reviews * Chapters organized by type of book, from primary skills books, wordless picture books, and rhyming books to toy and movable books * A list of additional resources helpful for building a core collection Valuable for regular use by caregivers as well as for collection development, this book spotlights hundreds of titles that are engaging and fun for reader and preschooler alike.

If your library has been letting families know about the free summer food program, is partnering with the summer food program, or is a summer food site, then the following email may be of interest to you. Thunderclap is a very easy way to promote something on all your library's social media sites at once.

Find a summer food site. Good Afternoon SFSP Contacts: Now that we are all in the midst of Summer Food Service Program implementation, we want to make sure to keep up the great momentum that has been created through all your promotion efforts. Food and Nutrition Service is planning a "Thunderclap". What is that, you ask? It is a barrage of messages on one topic released at the same time through social media. On July 29th, a message about summer meals will be sent out over Twitter, Facebook and Tumblr. It is very easy to sign up and have the messages automatically sent out from your accounts on July 29th. Just follow the link below and click on each icon (Facebook, Twitter and Tumblr), personalize your message, and voila, you are part of the Thunderclap. Please consider participating and sharing this message with partners. Sincerely, Libby Albert SFSP/CACFP Team Lead Children need healthy food all year long. During the school year, many children receive free and reduced-price breakfast and lunch through their school meals programs. But when school lets out many of these children are at risk of hunger, which can hinder the learning process. [cid:image009.jpg at 01CF9AB7.D353C950] USDA's Summer Food Service Program ensures children 18 years of age and below, living in income-eligible communities, receive nutritious meals even when school is out. To reinforce this value, FNS has just launched a summer meals support effort on social media to raise awareness about summer meals sites and how these nutritious meals benefit our nation's children. Through a platform known as Thunderclap, this important message can be heard when you and your friends say it together. By simply clicking a button of support here, a user agrees to share a message with their friends through their Twitter, Facebook and/or Tumblr accounts. That same message will be blasted by those that have agreed to support summer meals during the exact same established time, in this case July 29. Please consider using your social media influence to spread the word about this vital resource for families in need. In doing so, more folks will know how to help kids and teens find a free, nutritious summer meal site this summer!

Message-ID: http://www.edutopia.org/blog/preventing-summer-slide-internet-research-cathy-knutson I just read this Edutopia article by Cathy Knutson, an elementary school librarian, in which she recommends simple Internet research as a way to prevent the summer slide in students. Here are some highlights: * The word "research" sounds so intimidating because many parents remember their own tortured experiences with research papers when they were in school. But in this digital age, most of us research everyday without even realizing it. * We should apply the following evaluation of our search results: * Does this website answer my specific question? * How do a variety of websites answer the same question? (We are comparing and contrasting without the Venn diagram!) * Are all web resources equal and accurate, and if not, how can I tell? * The ability for children to ask and answer their own questions is one of the most fundamental learning objectives for life. This informal research, with children seeking to answer their own questions, is engaging, motivating and empowering. A cyclic pattern of research is established -- curiosity leading to research and back again to curiosity and follow-up questions. Knutson then suggests some ways for parents to engage students in summer research and offers safety and search tips. I could see this as a summer reading activity promoted and modeled by public library staff.

[IMLS logo] FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE July 11, 2014 IMLS Press Contact 202-653-4799 Giuliana Bullard, gbullard at imls.gov IMLS Announces New Awards to Strengthen Early Learning Activities at Libraries and Museums Washington, DC?Today, IMLS announced three new awards to engage libraries and museums as key partners in comprehensive early learning strategies. Three separate awards totaling $771,854 will be awarded to the Georgia Public Library Service, OCLC, and the BUILD Initiative. These new investments follow up on recommendations made in Growing Young Minds: How Museums and Libraries Create Lifelong Learners, a policy report that called upon policymakers, schools, funders, and parents to make full use of these vital, existing community resources. IMLS Director Susan H. Hildreth said, ?Too many children are starting school without the academic and social skills they need for success. Libraries and museums are effective, but often overlooked, resources in our nation?s effort to turn around a crisis in early learning, exposing children to reading and powerful learning experiences in the critical early years and keeping them learning through the summer months. With these awards, IMLS is taking action to create new opportunities for children, especially those in the lowest socioeconomic status who are the least likely to be able to participate in library and museum programming.? While IMLS continues to make investments at the project level including more than $6 million awarded in individual projects in libraries and museums in FY 2012 and 2013, the investments announced today are intended to make an impact at the systems level. Today?s investments will create stronger relationships among libraries, museums and state level early education providers and develop tools to speed the adoption of evidence-based practice throughout the library and museum communities. The BUILD Initiative - Boston, MA Award: $314,884 A cooperative agreement between IMLS and the BUILD Initiative will create deliberate and mutually beneficial connections between the efforts of museums and libraries and those of early childhood systems? builders to support the growth and development of children from birth to age eight, with an emphasis on children from birth to age five. The partnership will build relationships across the fields/sectors and embed connections in ways that can be replicated and sustained. All objectives will be achieved through engagement with library, museum and early learning leaders in five pilot states: Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Washington. Note: BUILD will present a webinar on the project on August 4th at 2:00 p.m. EST. Check the BUILD website in the coming weeks for more details: http://www.buildinitiative.org/OurWork/LearningCommunity/UpcomingEvents.aspx Georgia Public Library Service - Atlanta, GA Award: $249,895; Match: $103,449 This project is designed to provide a customized early literacy program within libraries to reach parents of young children. Youth librarians in Georgia?s public libraries will provide a learning environment using one of two programs, Prime Time or Every Child Ready to Read (ECRR), to educate parents and caregivers in the importance of early literacy. Monitoring and evaluation of the program will determine the benefits of providing the customized B4 early literacy program for parents of very young children. The evaluation will demonstrate whether Prime Time or ECRR works better in Georgia and which should be continued statewide after the pilot ends. The evaluation will examine the core curriculum for staff and the database-driven website to determine if these aspects enhanced the success of the Prime Time or ECRR library programs in creating a successful customized Birth to Four Early Literacy Program. OCLC Online Computer Library Center, Inc. - Dublin, OH Award: $207,075; Match: $69,129 The grant will support an 18-month project in five states and in partnership with Washington State Library and Thrive by Five Washington, two leaders in that state?s early learning efforts. The aim of the new program will be to introduce a new service model to public libraries for library staff to deliver interactive programs for young children that will impact early childhood literacy. Thousands of U.S. public libraries offer programs, such as story time, for young children and are already attuned to early literacy best practices. The methodology and tools used in this model were researched, designed and tested by the University of Washington, and piloted in 20 libraries in collaboration with Washington State Library from 2009 to 2014. The results showed that intentional focus on early literacy skills improved results for young children. The new service model, based on the rigorously researched and field-tested approach, can now be applied broadly to augment the efficacy of current library programs.

Find a summer food site. ________________________________ The Science Explorer Table Posted: 08 Jul 2014 09:01 PM PDT A couple of years ago, we introduced a make-and-take craft table in our Children?s Room. The table sits right by our Reference Desk so that it?s easy for staff to keep an eye on it and refill supplies as needed. We found, however, that our craft table did not work so well during the summer months. To accommodate the increased traffic at our Reference Desk, we moved the table a few feet away and we found we were refilling supplies constantly, which was a big pain. So this year, we debuted our Science Explorers Table. Instead of a craft, we?ve put out various science-related activities for children to explore while they visit the Children?s Room. It?s been a hit! The table is very frequently used and provides a learning experience as well as entertainment for kids. [Science Explorer Table at the NAFC Library. Photo by Abby Johnson.] Science Explorer Table at the NAFC Library. Photo by Abby Johnson. The table is self-directed, and signage lets parents know that materials stay on the table for the next child to use. We may include some questions or guidance as to how to use the materials, but kids also have fun picking things up and exploring on their own. We switch out the activities every couple of weeks to keep things fresh. The table also provides some space to set out leftover program handouts (all relevant since we?re doing so much science programming this summer!). We purchased several of the Can Do! science sets from Lakeshore Learning, which are super easy since they come with everything you need. We?ve also used some of our own activity ideas like these magnet wands with pipe cleaner hair (SO simple and popular!) and the mystery boxes my colleage Miss T made. I?ve been asked by colleagues about keeping statistics and to be honest that?s a part that I hadn?t thought of and we didn?t figure out for this summer. Some possibilities for keeping stats on an activity like this might be: ? selecting a week or a few typical days during the summer to keep a tally and extrapolating statistic ? including some kind of take-home element or something kids can contribute to and then counting up how many were taken or how contributions were made (adding notes or pictures to a notebook, etc.) ? Angie Manfredi at the Los Alamos County Library System posts challenge questions and asks kids to come to the Reference Desk to answer the questions and earn a small prize (I think they use candy, but it could be a sticker or a hand stamp) I?ve blogged about the Science Explorers Table on my personal blog; see Fizz, Boom, Read: Self-Directed Science Activities for more ideas! Are you doing any self-directed science in your library this summer? Please share what you?re doing in the comments! We may decide to keep the Science Explorer Table year-round (in lieu of take-home crafts), so I need all the ideas I can get! ?

There are a lot of good things to think about here that relate to our work with families and literacy. Parent Voices: Doubts, then Excitement on Texts to Promote Literacy http://www.edcentral.org/parents-reactions-using-texting-promote-literacy/ * 91 percent of intervention group participants... agreed that sending parenting tips via text was a good way to receive parenting information. * Many parents fully intend to read to their child, but by the end of the day, the good intentions go out the door with "decision fatigue"-after a day of making hard choices, our stock of self-control is depleted. Even a minor inconvenience seems like too much of a hurdle. A buzzing text message with some easy instruction is just what many parents need. * And it's delivered on a device most parents have with them at all times. Yes, that goes for low-income parents as well. According to a Pew Research Center study, 84 percent of Americans with an annual household income less than $30,000 have a cell phone of some kind * Like many of the Head Start parents surveyed in a Northwestern University study of the program, [Evans] wasn't convinced that texts are a good way to receive parenting information. Then she was having a bad day and received a text from the Parent University with an encouraging message: "Hey mom & dad, we wanted to take a second to tell u what an awesome job ur doing!" It was exactly what she needed to hear. "That's when I started doing them every day," she explained. * Evans' (mom) partner, Brandon Jones (mom's partner), agreed that the texts resulted in more hands-on family activities. Although the text messages went to Evans' phone, Jones would see Evans and Alissa, for example, creating collages or making shapes with pasta, and he would join the fun. Call it a nudge by association. * For Evans, those small nudges had a lasting impact. She would reread texts days or even weeks after they were sent. "Even if I didn't take advantage [of the advice] necessarily that day, I went back on the weekends and said, 'We can do this, this, and this,'" * "What really stands out to me is how a text said to take the 'Little Red Riding Hood' story and have a real conversation with my son about stranger danger. 'What did she do that you shouldn't do? And how could she have gone about not talking to strangers?'" she said. "I wouldn't have thought to use that book to teach stranger danger." * However, the messages she claimed were most helpful concerned self-care and relaxation-for parents. * "It doesn't take much," she stated. "It's a small suggestion, and it's free. I didn't have to go buy anything. That's what I really enjoyed."

Collection at King County Library System and I know it will always be challenging for staff to keep these items circulating in top shape. The need for double checking for parts at check in and check out is super important but I feel this collection is extremely worthwhile and we?re going the extra mile to make sure we have these resources at Sherman County Public School Library. Good Luck with your project Jana! ~Melisa Smith SCPSL Youth Program Director Here's a look at the beginning of a completely new collection at Sherman County Public/School Library! Thanks to a generous grant of Continuity Funds from Sherman County, we have created a new collection of "Discovery Kits". A themed EARLY LEARNING KIT for teachers, parents and caregivers of children. Topics so far include: Colors, Ready to Read, Shapes, Our Earth, Five Senses, and Friends. What?s in it? Lots of read aloud books, books for emergent readers, audio and video discs and hands on materials like games and toys for young ones to enjoy, plus teacher guides and Early Learning tip sheets for caregivers of infants, toddlers and preschoolers. What can you do with it? Plan lessons for classrooms or use them at home to create super learning environments for children, giving them a fun and effective way to become ready for school and learning These will begin circulating at the preschools and daycares in Sherman County and then will become available for anyone to check out right off the shelf!

And it's not as hard as you think. This 4-week online course will give participants practical strategies for bringing stories to life with puppets; techniques for using puppets with various ages, from toddlers to early elementary students; tips for adapting folktales and picture books into puppet presentations; strategies for rehearsal, planning, and development of puppet stories; and background about how puppet tales develop narrative skills and reading motivation from the audience. Storytime Tools (4 weeks, September 8 - October 3, 2014, CEU Certified Course, 2 CEUs) Instructor: Lisa M. Shaia, Children's Librarian, Oliver Wolcott Library Are you in a storytime rut?
