Pages 5-8 of the report * There is an excellent chart at the bottom of page 6 that illustrates the impact of time spent reading daily on Accelerated Reader Quiz scores. This may be useful for those of you using timed reading logs and/or reading logs to establish a daily reading habit during the summer reading program. * The lists of the top 25 fiction books by grade level are on pages 12-23. This may be useful for those of you in communities with strong Accelerated Reader programs or for other fiction collection development projects. * There is a great chart on page 26 that provides good data on what we already knew, boys read more non-fiction. This may be useful for those of you trying to engage boys in literacy programs or trying to improve and increase non-fiction collection development. * The lists of the top 25 non-fiction books by grade level are on pages 28-39. This may be useful for those of you in communities with strong Accelerated Reader programs or for non-fiction collection development projects. * If you are in a community with a strong Accelerated Reader program, then you may want to read pages 41-43 to learn about the program's new text complexity grade bands that aim to address developmentally appropriate increases in text complexity (zone of proximal development).

The certificate should be 8.5" x 11", and should have blank outer margins of at least .25" on all sides. ? EPS files, like the ones found on the CSLP DVD, can be scaled to any size in your docu?ment without losing resolution. These files can be manipulated in illustration programs such as Microsoft Paint or Adobe Illustrator. ? TIFF and JPEG files can be manipulated in any photo editing program such as Adobe Photoshop (another example?). Avoid increasing these images by more than 20% of their original size. If you need an image in a different format and you cannot convert the image on your own, please email your request to the CSLP at info at cslpreads.org. ? Download the State of Oregon seal from http://www.oregon.gov/osl/LD/Pages/youthsvcs/oregon.srp.certificate.aspx#Download___Print_Certificates, and use it in your design. ? When converting your design to a PDF, select a high quality print setting (in particular, images should be at a minimum of 300dpi). ? A good rule of thumb for double-checking the resolution or print quality of your design: Open your PDF in Acrobat, and zoom in at 400%. If the images and type still look smooth (not grainy or pixelated), your design should print nicely. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Happy Friday and please excuse our cross-posting! Colorado Libraries for Early Literacy and the 2015 Bell Awards Selection Committee have announced the five winning titles of the 2015 awards! Head over to the CLEL website (at http://www.clel.org/#!2015-bell-awards-titles/c1wgl or http://www.clel.org > CLEL Bell Awards tab) for the titles and annotations, along with links to one information sheet for each book. The information sheet contains literacy tips and 3-4 activity ideas to extend the book for preschool circle times, library storytimes, or home parent/caregiver and child engagement. You can also find the 2015 shortlists, with 25 high-quality titles, from which the winners were selected. The five winning books consist of one title in each of five categories representing an early literacy practice: Read, Write, Sing, Talk, and Play. The books, in their content, theme, or design, support caregivers' interaction with their children through early literacy practices. Research has shown that engaging children in these practices builds language skills and prepares children to become successful readers. The Bell Awards were created in 2012 to recognize picture books that provide excellent support of early literacy development in young children. Please direct any questions or comments to the Bell Awards Committee at clelbellawards at gmail.com Thank you for all you do to promote early literacy in your communities!

I created a 'search alert' in Gale's Academic OneFile to get a list of the latest articles from Education Week as they are added to the database sent to my email. One of the new articles added this week may be of interest to many of you. Blad, Evie. "Poverty Data Signal Urgency for Schools; Poor Children Now Make Up a Majority." Education Week 28 Jan. 2015: 1. Academic Onefile. Web. 11 Feb. 2015. Key points from the article: * An analysis released last week by the Southern Education Foundation showed that public schools crossed a new, significant threshold in 2013, when a majority of the nation's nearly 50 million students qualified for free or reduced-price lunches. * Research shows that poor children often enter school behind other students academically, they often struggle to catch up, and they tend to lag behind their higher-income peers in areas like attendance. * schools are confronting the shifts, in venues ranging from classrooms to lunchrooms, as they work to meet the academic and non-cognitive needs that can hinder achievement--often stretching strained resources to do so. * "No longer can we consider the problems and needs of low-income students simply a matter of fairness," the Southern Education Foundation analysis said. "Their success or failure in the public schools will determine the entire body of human capital and educational potential that the nation will possess in the future." A large body of research shows that out-of-school time has the most significant impact on the achievement gap. Out-of-school time meaning birth-preK before kids start schools, summer, weekends, holidays (including Spring Break), and mornings/evenings when kids aren't in school. Here is a great handout Heather McNeil (Deschutes Public Library) shared and a video that OregonASK showed at the summer learning summit in Salem yesterday. Public libraries are beginning to address non-cognitive needs, such as hunger and needing a safe space, that can hinder achievement by becoming summer lunch sites, bringing summer reading to other summer lunch sites, doing outreach literacy programs at low-income housing, and partnering with a wide-variety of community organizations to work together to provide wrap-around services for youth and their families. This article, handout, and video may be useful to those of you advocating for support and/or seeking funding for library services that address the needs of economically underserved children, teens, and their families.

Most Gale databases offer the ability to have an article read aloud using text-to-speech technology. While the feature, called ReadSpeaker and labeled Listen, is machine-driven, it provides very good audio. You can find the option towards the top left side of nearly any Gale article. (If you cannot see the images in the email, try the attachment instead.) [cid:image002.png at 01D04AC8.D0022320] Here are three tips for using the Listen feature. 1. When you click on the orange-red arrow, ReadSpeaker starts at the beginning of the article. However, you can also highlight a section of text and then click on the ReadSpeaker arrow to have only the highlighted text read aloud. 2. After you activate ReadSpeaker, click on the gear to change such settings as the text color, reading speed, and highlighting options (word and sentence, word only, and more). [cid:image003.png at 01D04ACA.FF14B220] [cid:image005.jpg at 01D04ACE.298ED7D0] 3. If you translate an article and then click on Listen, the article will be read aloud in the translated language. [cid:image010.jpg at 01D04ACE.298ED7D0] [cid:image009.png at 01D04ACC.F6520AA0] Who might want to know about this? Struggling readers, teachers of ELL students, educators preparing students for the listening portion of the Smarter Balanced tests, those studying a foreign language, and more. Questions? Please ask.

LAKEVIEW, OR- After months of agony, the wait has ended! Wednesday morning the Records Management Team at Guinness World Records sent an email to Lake County Libraries informing them that their application for the Largest Stick Bomb record was successful. Participants in the 2014 Teen Summer Reading Program are now Guinness World Record Title Holders! "It was an exciting moment to read the email," said Elizabeth Christley, the Youth Library Assistant and coordinator of the event, "and even more exciting to tell the teens. They said I 'totally went fangirl.' It's true, I was very excited! We all are." Upon hearing the news, some participants gathered around Christley's desk for an impromptu viewing of the video that was made to verify the attempt. They then went to guinnessworldrecords.com to see their names listed for the Largest Stick Bomb. "It was fun to reflect on the achievement. Everyone worked together to do something that required focus and attention to detail. Local businesses and organizations supported us and made it possible for The Kinetic King (the inventor of the modern stick bomb) to join our attempt. This was a group effort, a community win," said Library Director Amy Hutchinson. A stick bomb is a kinetic experiment built by weaving craft sticks in a very precise manner so the energy is stored until "detonation" (pulling the end stick). Detonation sets off an "explosion" of sticks. It's a difficult device to build, fraught with opportunities for error. Humidity and carpet fuzz can freeze the whole thing. The attempt was the culmination of a summer full of science fun with the Lake County Libraries 2014 Teen Summer Reading Program, "Spark a Reaction." Participants in this World Record Largest Stick Bomb were Rebecca Banks, Eduardo Botello, Sarah Bowersox, Elizabeth Christley, Tim Fort AKA the Kinetic King, Amy Hutchinson, Alora Isham, Stacie Jones, Forest Pearson, Kamaryn Schneider, Danielle Thames, Jose Villalobos, and Addie Wampler. The stick bomb was activated on August 29, 2014 and 17,822 sticks snapped into the air beating the record of 13,274 held by Pallacanestro Vigodarzere - De Nicolao Stefano (Italy). Video of the detonation can be viewed at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_6B5648Gb_o along with videos of the build and clean up. Now the group is waiting for their official certificates to arrive in the mail. They also wonder if they will be one of the lucky record holders chosen to be featured in the Guinness World Records 2016 Diamond Edition to be released on September 1 of this year. ************ -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The email below describes upcoming online courses offered by Library Juice Academy. This online course is for children?s library staff, regardless of your ability to speak Spanish, to learn how to present Spanish/English bilingual storytimes. This may be a good alternative for those of you at libraries already serving Spanish speakers, but unable to hire or contract with a native Spanish speaker to present Spanish and/or bilingual storytimes. While this course costs quite a bit of money, remember there is no travel involved and you can participate whenever works best for your schedule.

Video demonstrations, articles, online resources and course discussions direct students as they learn how to successfully deliver the various elements of bilingual storytimes, either on their own or with a bilingual community partner. Participants will discover new books, rhymes, songs, plans and resources that they can immediately put to use in their bilingual storytime programs. Learning Objectives: - Students will learn how to select and use the following components in bilingual storytime: books, songs, rhymes, fingerplays, and stories for telling aloud. - Students will experiment with incorporating bilingual materials into their existing storytime programs. - Students will select books and other materials they can use to increase inclusion of Latino culture and the Spanish language in their English storytime programs. - Students will develop strategies for working with bilingual community partners to present and market bilingual storytime. - Students will gain an increased understanding of the early literacy and school readiness needs of Latino children. - Students will articulate how bilingual storytime supports the early literacy and school readiness needs of Latino children, and identify online resources for sharing early literacy and school readiness information with Spanish-speaking parents. - Students will each develop two bilingual storytime plans. NOTE: This course does not address outreach/marketing to Latinos and Spanish-speakers, and is best suited for libraries that are already successfully serving these communities. Libraries interested in learning how to establish or improve services to Latino and Spanish-speaking families are encouraged to take the course, 'Building Relationships, Building Bridges: Library Outreach and Marketing to Latino and Spanish-Speaking Families.' Katie Scherrer is a library consultant and training specialist whose work focuses on improving library services to Latino and Spanish-speaking children and families. She previously worked as the first Spanish Program Specialist for the Columbus Metropolitan Library and as a Children?s Librarian at the uniquely bilingual Village Branch of the Lexington Public Library. Katie has presented many workshops on bilingual storytime and library services to Latino families for librarians across the country, including at the 2013 ALA Annual Conference. Read an interview with Katie about her courses: http://libraryjuiceacademy.com/news/?p=150 Course Structure This is an online class that is taught asynchronously, meaning that participants do the work on their own time as their schedules allow. The class does not meet together at any particular times, although the instructor may set up optional sychronous chat sessions. Instruction includes readings and assignments in one-week segments. Class participation is in an online forum environment. Payment Info You can register in this course through the first week of instruction.

The certificate should be 8.5" x 11", and should have blank outer margins of at least .25" on all sides. ? EPS files, like the ones found on the CSLP DVD, can be scaled to any size in your docu?ment without losing resolution. These files can be manipulated in illustration programs such as Microsoft Paint or Adobe Illustrator. ? TIFF and JPEG files can be manipulated in any photo editing program such as Adobe Photoshop (another example?). Avoid increasing these images by more than 20% of their original size. If you need an image in a different format and you cannot convert the image on your own, please email your request to the CSLP at info at cslpreads.org. ? Download the State of Oregon seal from http://www.oregon.gov/osl/LD/Pages/youthsvcs/oregon.srp.certificate.aspx#Download___Print_Certificates, and use it in your design. ? When converting your design to a PDF, select a high quality print setting (in particular, images should be at a minimum of 300dpi). ? A good rule of thumb for double-checking the resolution or print quality of your design: Open your PDF in Acrobat, and zoom in at 400%. If the images and type still look smooth (not grainy or pixelated), your design should print nicely. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Attached is the list of 141 elementary school sites eligible to participate in the Summer Learning, Summer Library, Summer Lunch (SL3) program this summer. OregonASK estimates that about 50 of these schools will actually participate in SL3 this summer. Schools on this list have about 50% or more students eligible for the free or reduced lunch program, and about 40% or more students reading below grade level at 3rd Grade. Schools participating in SL3 are required to contact their local public library to ask if you're able to partner with them to provide the summer reading program to youth at their SL3 site. Partnering with SL3 sites can be as simple as providing them with your summer reading logs and program information. This will allow SL3 site staff help kids with their reading and filling out your summer reading log, but kids would have to come to your library to get incentives. However, I highly encourage you to do at least one program or activity at the SL3 site so kids get to meet you and experience a library program. This may be just what some kids need to make them feel comfortable visiting your library-they may just need to know who will be there and what to expect during programs to take that first step into your library. I also encourage you to think about distributing incentives at SL3 sites because many of these kids can't walk or ride the bus to your library and their parents can't take them for a variety of reasons. If you can't partner with an SL3 site, then the State Library will provide them reading logs, book lists, and some activity ideas from the summer reading manual. What can you do? * Be pro-active. Contact the schools on this list that are in your service now and start a conversation with them about partnering on summer reading for their students. Even if the school doesn't become an SL3 site, they have a significant number of underserved students who can benefit most from the summer reading program. * Plan ahead. Estimate how many more reading logs and other materials you distribute when kids sign-up for your summer reading program you many need if you partner with the schools on this list in your services and print extras. The total student body of the school is included on this spreadsheet. This is an allowable Ready to Read cost. * Don't sweat it. If your library doesn't have the capacity to partner with the schools on this list that are in your services, don't worry about it. The State Library will provide them with the bare essentially so SL3 sites can provide the summer reading program. Kids at SL3 sites will still have access to books and support for their reading over the summer. * Don't feel left out. Don't have a school in your service area on this list, but like the idea of using 3rd grade reading scores and free or reduced lunch data to identify which schools in your area to partner with? You can find this data for all schools here: http://schools.oregonlive.com/search/. Please let me know if you have any questions or ideas.
