The updates are science-driven and come from work done by leading social science, neuroscience and media researchers, educators, pediatricians, and other partner organizations to evaluate the available data, identify research gaps, and provide practical advice to caregivers based on evidence. Below are the key messages for parents that emerged from their work (copied and pasted from here). The updated AAP screen time guidelines will be available in 2016. Digital life begins at a young age, and so must parental guidance. Children who are ?growing up digital? should learn healthy concepts of digital citizenship. Media is just another environment. Children do the same things they have always done, only virtually. Like any environment, media can have positive and negative effects. Parenting has not changed. The same parenting rules apply to your children?s real and virtual environments. Play with them. Set limits; kids need and expect them. Teach kindness. Be involved. Know their friends and where they are going with them. Role modeling is critical. Limit your own media use, and model online etiquette. Attentive parenting requires face time away from screens. We learn from each other. Neuroscience research shows that very young children learn best via two-way communication. ?Talk time? between caregiver and child remains critical for language development. Passive video presentations do not lead to language learning in infants and young toddlers. The more media engender live interactions, the more educational value they may hold (e.g., a toddler chatting by video with a parent who is traveling). Optimal educational media opportunities begin after age 2, when media may play a role in bridging the learning achievement gap. Content matters. The quality of content is more important than the platform or time spent with media. Prioritize how your child spends his time rather than just setting a timer. Curation helps. More than 80,000 apps are labeled as educational, but little research validates their quality (Hirsh-Pasek KPsych Science2015;16:3-34Google Scholar). An interactive product requires more than ?pushing and swiping? to teach. Look to organizations like Common Sense Media (www.commonsensemedia.org) that review age-appropriate apps, games and programs. Co-engagement counts. Family participation with media facilitates social interactions and learning. Play a video game with your kids. Your perspective influences how your children understand their media experience. For infants and toddlers, co-viewing is essential. Playtime is important. Unstructured playtime stimulates creativity. Prioritize daily unplugged playtime, especially for the very young. Set limits. Tech use, like all other activities, should have reasonable limits. Does your child?s technology use help or hinder participation in other activities? It?s OK for your teen to be online. Online relationships are integral to adolescent development. Social media can support identity formation. Teach your teen appropriate behaviors that apply in both the real and online worlds. Ask teens to demonstrate what they are doing online to help you understand both content and context. Create tech-free zones. Preserve family mealtime. Recharge devices overnight outside your child?s bedroom. These actions encourage family time, healthier eating habits and healthier sleep. Kids will be kids. Kids will make mistakes using media. These can be teachable moments if handled with empathy. Certain aberrations, however, such as sexting or posting self-harm images, signal a need to assess youths for other risk-taking behaviors. If you want more information on screen time as it relates to library youth services, I suggest your next step be to read ALA?s Association for Library Services to Children?s Media Mentorship in Libraries Serving Youth (birth-elementary school children), School Library Journal?s online articles about technology (K-12 children and teens), and/or ALA?s Young Adult Library Services Association?s blog posts about technology (middle-high school teens).

On the right of the screen you'll see an image of a young child's writing sample. On the left you'll read text explaining what the child who wrote the sample is able to do as a writer and how adults can help the child develop to the next level of writing skills. Click on the numbers under the sample to see other samples at progressive levels of writing skills and to get more information how to help children move to the next level-it's pretty cool! You'll probably recognize most, if not all of the suggestions for how adults can help young children develop writing skills. However, it's nice to have this to confirm we're doing the correct things and demonstrate to others why we do the writing activities we do. Please notice that Reading Rockets never suggests using worksheets or picture coloring pages-just different types of blank paper and different types of writing materials.

Previously, they were Youth Services Guidelines, created in 1998; now they are specifically geared toward Children's Services. The first draft of the new guidelines are attached, and we are hoping for feedback from all of you on what we missed or what could be improved. Please read over the guidelines, and then complete the survey (link below) where you can make suggestions. As you review the guidelines, there are two important facts to consider. First, these guidelines should be relevant for all sizes of libraries, so please think of small, medium and large libraries, not just the size of library where you work. Second, we made the assumption that libraries are already following the standards of the Public Library Division's Guidelines, so we did not repeat what they covered, such as ADA compliance. You will find the survey at https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/CSDGuidelines. You can also contact a committee member, if you have additional questions: Heather McNeil, heatherm at deschuteslibrary.org Katie Anderson, katie.anderson at state.or.us Danielle Jones, daniellej at multco.us Jeana McClure, mcclure.jeana at gmail.com Thank you for your attention to these guidelines, and we look forward to your recommendations!

"Building Developmental Relationships With Youth," presented by Meghan Perry from the Institute for Youth Success: Participants will 1. Learn the characteristics of developmental relationships 2. Learn skills to promote positive interactions with youth 3. Practice practical application of these new skills. In the interactive training "Building Developmental Relationships with Youth, we'll explore how library staff can build more powerful relationships in their daily interactions with young people. We'll discuss Developmental Relationships as defined by the Search Institute, using process-focused encouragement rather than outcome-based praise, and using supportive communication skills.

Students write letters to any author explaining how that author's book changed their way of thinking about the world or themselves. Please help promote this program, including among homeschoolers. The LOC asks teachers to allow students to choose a book that is meaningful to them and asks students to explain *why* or *how* the book was significant to them instead of summarizing the plot. The focus of a participant's letter is to make clear the connection one has with a book. Here's what Lynette Gottlieb, a teacher in Corvallis, had to say about the contest: Letters about Literature was a completely positive experience for my students...importantly, some of my students who do not identify as writers, and do not generally enjoy the experience, were able to write about something meaningful to them and participate in an inclusive contest that also recognized them...the process connects them to the human experience of literature. It supports my English classroom where I give students choice about reading whenever possible and teach that literature and writing are first and foremost about communication. 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. Last year Oregon?s own Heather DesChamp was a National Honor Award recipient! Entry forms and guidelines are available on the Willamette Writers and the State Library?s websites. All high school (Level III) entries must be postmarked by December 4, 2015 and elementary and middle school (Levels I and II) entries by January 11, 2016. Thanks to these groups whose sponsorship makes local prizes possible: Oregon Reading Association and three divisions of the Oregon Library Association: Oregon Association of School Libraries, Children's Services Division, and Oregon Young Adult Network. Thanks to you for passing along the information and encouraging participation. Those with questions about Letters About Literature should contact Blythe Ayne at Willamette Writers. http://willamettewriters.org/letters-about-literature/ http://www.oregon.gov/osl/LD/Pages/youthsvcs/aboutlit.aspx Jen Jennifer Maurer School Library Consultant Oregon State Library 250 Winter Street NE Salem, OR 97301 503.378.5011 jennifer.maurer at state.or.us OSLIS || www.oslis.org Learn to research.

This morning, I remembered there is an upcoming free webinar specifically for Oregon libraries about Beanstack, a summer reading software. If you are interested, read on! If not, just hit 'delete.'-Katie Considering a new online Summer Reading solution or a new tool to engage families at your library? Join us for a free webinar to learn more about Beanstack, a customized service designed to engage families with young readers - and community members of all ages. Beanstack uniquely sends each patron a weekly personalized email that recommends a specific library program and book in your collection. The company also offers a Summer Reading option, providing participants with simple registration for the entire family under one account, easy tools for logging reading, and cool badges that kids can earn online or offline. Additionally, library staff use the service's administrative features to track incentives, run drawings, help patrons log reading, and produce branch-level or systemwide usage reports. Join us to learn more at a webinar tailored to Oregon libraries, hosted by Beanstack's Chief Dad and co-founder, Felix Lloyd. We will demo Beanstack, and participants will be able to ask questions of Felix throughout the presentation. WHEN: October 22, 9:00AM - 10:00AM PT REGISTER HERE TO LEARN MORE Questions?

For those of you I haven't met yet: Hello! I'm Bryce, the new Youth Services Librarian at Washington County Cooperative Library Services (or, as an easy connection, "The new Rick Samuelson"). I talked to a few of you about sending some links and I wanted to follow up on that. First off, the SRP game cards I created at my former library: Here is the link to all of them: https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B3Xfsh6UaBOSfk1qeGtod3FnaG8yak96TmxBaXN0WkpxMjNxcktwd3phMEVFdmpVNnlNdjA&usp=sharing Here is the thought process that went into it and how they work: http://brycedontplay.blogspot.com/2014/09/summer-reading-game-cards.html I was the impetus for doing without the extra prizes at my former library. We added the "donate food" this year, which I didn't agree with (I saw it as a micro-aggression against our high service population living with food insecurity); by the end of the summer 600 lbs of food were donated, so that was positive. The 4K- grade 5 version debuted in 2014; due to its success, the early literacy version was changed for 2015. Here's how they look: http://readingwithred.blogspot.com/2015/05/summer-reading-program-for-babies.html Scroll down to the bottom of this post for more ways to use stickers to create something together: http://fatgirlreading.com/re-vamping-summer-reading-part-one-passive-programs/ Additionally, here's some blog resources for ideas I added to the post-its: Yogilibrarian for yoga storytimes: https://yogibrarian.wordpress.com/yoga-storytimes/ Hafuboti (who I've dubbed The Librarian Who Saved Summer Reading 2015 with her alternate artwork) with Nerd Chi: http://hafuboti.com/2015/01/19/nerd-chi/ Picture Book Story Walk: http://showmelibrarian.blogspot.com/2013/06/thinking-outside-book-partnering-to.html Simon Says/Tic-Tac-Toe mashup (full body Tic Tac Toe): http://brycedontplay.blogspot.com/2015/05/tic-tac-toesimon-says-mashup-game.html Let me know if you have any questions about any of this.

Please keep in mind that the following resources are for students in 4th- 6th Grade and older. [Job-and-Career-Accelerator-LEL.b.jpg] Hi. If you read the October OASL newsletter or LTLO, the State Library's newsletter, then you know that when our statewide LearningExpress Library contract gets renewed on November 1st, two additional resources will appear: Job & Career Accelerator and Computer and Internet Basics. Through Job & Career Accelerator, students and other users can explore occupations, learn how to write a resume, get interview tips, and more. Review this PDF for further information. Computer and Internet Basics adds 18 video tutorials for older students or adults on everything from personal computer fundamentals to protecting yourself online. Currently, there is a LearningExpress Library center called Popular Software Tutorials. Next month, that name will change to Computer Skills, and the new center will include all current and new computer-oriented tutorials. Consult this PDF to learn more about the new module. Because of the new content, we asked a LearningExpress trainer to offer a webinar just for Oregon library and school staff. It will be on Monday, November 2nd from 3:00 to 4:00 pm Pacific. Participation is free, but you need to register in advance. The goal is to record the session and make it available online. Watch for an announcement. Of course, you are always welcome to participate in LearningExpress' national webinars or to explore the short video guides available from the toolbar within LearningExpress Library. If you have questions, please ask.

I'm updating the format of the State Library's annual summer reading brief. If you have a story about a child, teen, or family with kids that was particularly impacted by your 2015 summer reading program, please send me a very brief description of how they were impacted and a photo by Friday, October 30th. The photo doesn't have to be specifically of the person or people your story is about, but should relate in some way to the story you share. I will choose two or three stories and photos to include in the annual summer reading brief, additional stories and photos may be used in other reports or presentations as the need arises so please make sure the photo can be shared with the public. The goal is to show the stakeholders that children, teens, and families who participate in public library summer reading programs maintain or improve their reading skills, develop lifelong learning habits, and/or have an experience that will help them get college or career ready.

Message-ID: <640435851FD7CB4AB3C4BE0D1963BA245EF8D6AC@OSLEXCHANGE.osl.state.or.us.local> The State of Oregon has a partnership with Vroom. The Oregon Department of Education's Early Learning Division is piloting Vroom outreach campaigns with these early learning partners throughout the state. However, Vroom is free and available statewide already so you can use it now! What can you do with Vroom? Easy: * Know what Vroom is so you're informed about what is going on and aren't blind-sided if someone asks you about it. Vroom is a free early literacy app for parents available for Android and Apple mobile devices. It sends parents simple real-world activities they can do with their kids during their regular routine (e.g. sorting colors while they're doing laundry), and provide a snip-it of research to explain how that activity help their child's brain development/kindergarten readiness. * Know that Vroom is in English and Spanish, it automatically defaults to a mobile device's primary language. * Try Vroom yourself! If you don't have a child, make one up to try it out. That's what I did! I learned Vroom is easy to use, and a great early learning tool for families. It only takes a couple minutes to download and register. Then you just wait to be notified once a day when your new daily activity is ready to try! After a couple days you'll figure it out well enough so then delete/uninstall the app from your phone. You'll also see how it supports and aligns with Every Child Ready to Read! * Link to Vroom from your library's website to inform your patrons with young children about the app. Look at Salem Public Library's website for an example-Vroom is in the list of 'Additional Online Resources for Parents and Caregivers.' Medium: * Encourage families with young children to download the app and try it too. * Print Vroom promotional materials to display and/or distribute to families with young children. The graphics/files are all free, you just have to pay for the cost of printing them. You also need to have a free DropboxTM account to access the files. If you are concerned about printing costs, look at the 'Low Ink Flyers' and 'Low Ink Tip Card PDFs' and determine if you can afford those. All promotional materials are in English and Spanish too. * Do some of the activities on 'Tip Cards' during storytimes or early literacy trainings, and then give families the cards to take with them so they can do the activity more at home. The 'Tip Cards' are available via DropboxTM too. * Write about Vroom in your library's newsletter and/or via social media. Look at Salem Public Library's Fall 2015 newsletter for an example-it's at the top of page two. * Share ideas and get support from staff at other libraries. Hard: * Demonstrate how to use Vroom to parents during an early literacy training or conversation. * Partner with the other libraries to share the cost of printing Vroom promotional materials and divide up the work to display and/or distribute them in your region. * Partner with a pilot site in your library's service area on planning and implementing the Vroom pilot project in your community. Not all libraries have a pilot site, but don't let that stop you! Start a conversation with your current early learning partners about Vroom. Hopefully this is helpful, please let me know if you have any more questions.

Workshop, but I did want to send out the book list, agenda, and other documentation. Thank you to Mart?n, Hope, Annie, and everyone else who has worked so hard to put our Mock Belpr? together.

If you read the October OASL newsletter or LTLO, the State Library's newsletter, then you know that when our statewide LearningExpress Library contract gets renewed on November 1st, two additional resources will appear: Job & Career Accelerator and Computer and Internet Basics. Through Job & Career Accelerator, students and other users can explore occupations, learn how to write a resume, get interview tips, and more. Review this PDF for further information. Computer and Internet Basics adds 18 video tutorials for older students or adults on everything from personal computer fundamentals to protecting yourself online. Currently, there is a LearningExpress Library center called Popular Software Tutorials. Next month, that name will change to Computer Skills, and the new center will include all current and new computer-oriented tutorials. Consult this PDF to learn more about the new module. Because of the new content, we asked a LearningExpress trainer to offer a webinar just for Oregon library and school staff. It will be on Monday, November 2nd from 3:00 to 4:00 pm Pacific. Participation is free, but you need to register in advance. The goal is to record the session and make it available online. Watch for an announcement. Of course, you are always welcome to participate in LearningExpress' national webinars or to explore the short video guides available from the toolbar within LearningExpress Library. If you have questions, please ask.

This morning I received an email from the Search Institute with a link to their Discussion Starters for Families and I thought many of you might be interested in them too, whether or not you attended the training last week. Search Institute has identified five essential actions in parent-child relationships that help children and teens grow up well. Here are some discussion-starter questions that can help [parents] talk with [their] children and teens about different parts of [their] relationship. The goal is not to get the right answer, but to share each person's experiences, feelings, and beliefs so you get to know each other better.

On behalf of Blythe Ayne, Awards Chair for Willamette Writers, I am recruiting three children's or youth services librarians to judge Oregon entries that make it past the national screening for this year's Letters About Literature contest. I need one judge for each of the three competition levels: Level I for 4th-6th graders, Level II for 7th-8th graders, and Level III for 9th-12th graders. A school librarian and an Oregon author will also judge entries for each level. Oregon's three winning letters, one from each competition level, will go on to compete nationally. If everything goes according to schedule at the national level, you should receive the letters in mid to late March 2016, and the judges phone meeting should be scheduled for sometime in early April 2016. You will be provided some guidelines to help you make judging decisions. As you may know, Letters About Literature is a national reading and writing promotion sponsored by the Center for the Book at the Library of Congress. Students write letters to an author explaining how that author's book changed their way of thinking about the world or themselves. Letters are sent to the national coordinator for two rounds of screenings. Letters that make it through the screenings are sent to the LAL coordinator for each state. That is now Blythe at Willamette Writers. High School (9th - 12th grades) For the high school level, anywhere from about 20 to 35 letters usually make it through the national screening. The time commitment will be about 4 to 6 hours to read the letters at your home or office and up to 2 hours in a phone meeting with the other two judges to select Oregon's winner, runner-up, and any honorable mentions in your age category. Therefore, you are looking at roughly 6 to 8 hours in total. Middle School (7th & 8th grades) For the middle school level, anywhere from about 30 to 60 letters usually make it through the national screening. The time commitment will be about 5 to 7 hours to read the letters at your home or office and up to 2 hours in a phone meeting with the other two judges to select Oregon's winner, runner-up, and any honorable mentions in your age category. Therefore, you are looking at roughly a 7 to 9 hour time commitment. Elementary School (4th - 6th grades) For the elementary level, anywhere from about 50 to 75 letters usually make it through the national screening. The time commitment will be about 6 to 8 hours to read the letters at your home or office and up to 2 hours in a phone meeting with the other two judges to select Oregon's winner, runner-up, and any honorable mentions in your age category. Therefore, you are looking at roughly a 8 to 10 hour time commitment. We usually have just over 1,000 Oregon students enter the contest annually, and a large percentage of them receive cash prizes or bookstore gift certificates. These prizes are made possible through support from the Library of Congress, the Oregon Reading Association, and the Oregon Library Association's Oregon Association of School Libraries, Children's Services Division, and Oregon Young Adult Network. At the national level, 3 first-place and 3 second-place winners will be selected - 1 each per competition level. National winners each receive a $1,000 cash award while second-place winners receive $150 each. Historically, Oregon students do well at the national level, and in the last few years we have had a national winner and several runners-up. If you have any questions, please contact me. For more information about Letters About Literature, visit http://willamettewriters.com/letters-about-literature/. If you are interested in helping, please try to respond by Tuesday evening, November 3rd. If you were a judge two or more years ago, you are welcome to help again.
