I just received the following email about the El d?a de los ni?os/El d?a de los libros (Children's Day/Book Day) 2010. Dia is an annual celebration for children, families, books, and reading. What types of events do libraries have to celebrate Dia? I recently heard from a librarian who is planning 6 stations, one for each early literacy skill, and providing 'passports' for kids to take around to each station. When they complete an activity they receive a stamp in their passport. Children who travel to all 6 stations get a free book! Dia events don't have to be this grand, some are just a special storytime with a craft and refreshments. Libraries, if you already have a Dia celebration planned, please register your event online at: http://cs.ala.org/websurvey/alsc/dia/. When you register, your event will be added to the interactive map the public can access to locate events. If you haven't planned your celebration and are looking for ideas and resources, you can download a list of books and links to websites here http://tiny.cc/ydabl. Healthy Start, you can use this interactive map to find local events: http://cs.ala.org/websurvey/alsc/dia/map.cfm. This might be a fun library event to take your families to or encourage them to attend. I see that 3 Oregon libraries are already registered! Keep checking back to as we get closer to Dia because more libraries will be registering their events in the coming weeks. Or call your local library to find out if they are celebrating Dia, and what they are doing. Here is a link to the online Oregon Library Directory where you can find phone numbers, addresses, and a link to Google maps for directions to your local library: http://www.oregonauthors.org/libraries/.

If an infant has trouble distinguishing between the sounds, we can help them learn this through nursery rhymes and word play! If you don't have time to view more than 3 minutes, please note that the next video clip starts automatically. The whole series of videos is 15-20 minutes. The rest of the series is quite interesting and informative too, however focuses on older children and reading/hearing problems such as dyslexia. http://link.brightcove.com/services/player/bcpid72342307001?bclid=22852097001&bctid=6801860001 Baby's first reading skills Drs. Victoria and Dennis Molfese are starting even younger. In Louisville, Kentucky they are studying speech perception in day old babies like Santana Hamond - something that may be a key factor in determining a child's later reading skills.

During Training Session Two all RFHF participants had or will have a session on media literacy. During Cohort 5's media literacy session we discussed research on the effects of having the TV on in the background as children are playing. None of us could remember the study, but about a week later Becki Bozart found it and emailed it to me. She and I thought the rest of you might want to read the study too. I've pulled out a few of the main points below. I think it is important to notice this is a study of only 50 children so, while this is valuable information because it shows there may be a link between background TV and attention problems, it isn't conclusive. Therefore, the article reminds parents about conclusive research on brain development and the importance of interacting with their children. -Background noise may disrupt play and stop children from developing attention spans according to new research, leading to increased risk of behavioral issues like Attention Deficit Disorder. -Experts found that children left in a room with the television on played for five per cent less time, and had shorter play episodes than children in a room without the distraction. -the study was conducted with a group of 50 toddlers at age 12, 24, or 36 months -The magazine reminds parents of the following facts about children's early learning: * brain development is very vulnerable to environmental influences. * the influence of early environment is long lasting. * during the first years, the infant needs to learn to focus attention and interact.

They have been provided with: . a one page summary of the ECRR curricula including a description of the three workshops, the Oregon Registry Set and Core Knowledge Category, and the link to the list of Oregon Registry ECRR Standardized Trainers, plus a current list of those trainers by county. . a one page newsletter article which provides a summary of the ECRR curriculum as training for child care providers as well as early literacy training/resources that participating library staff could provide to parents. . a flyer outlining early literacy activities and resources available at the library with a link to find their local library. Included is a listing of all of the library and Healthy Start programs who have participated as of March 2010 in Reading for Healthy Families as possible local resources. The state offices will forward this information along to local Child Care Resource and Referral offices; Head Starts and early Head Starts as well as send the information to Child Care newsletters. Hopefully, this will be the start of some further early literacy training and collaborations. So, don't be surprised if you receive a call from a local Head Start or child care program regarding ECRR or RFHF. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you. Joann Joann M.

However, I'm compiling all your reading logs for the Year 2 RFHF evaluation the first week of May. Please submit what you have for April by Thursday, April 29th. Let me know if you have any questions. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> It is time to submit your monthly Reading for Healthy Families recording log used to keep track of the families you are presenting the Reading for Healthy Families (Every Child Ready to Read @ your library) curriculum to. A blank log is attached, or you can download and save the "Recording Log" to your computer from: http://www.oregon.gov/OSL/LD/youthsvcs/rfhf.recording.log.shtml#Recording_Log. Please email your completed log to me at katie.anderson at state.or.us. You can also print your completed log and fax it to 503-378-6439 or mail it to me at 250 Winter St. NE, Salem OR 97301. NOTE: The "Six Skills Overview" workshop is not on the drop-down menu under "Main Education Session Emphasized". If you presented this session, please select "Print Motivation" instead. Remember, you may not count childcare providers, preschool teachers, or other early childhood professionals because NPC Research and our funders are evaluating parent education specifically. However, we hope you won't exclude them from your early literacy education sessions. If you present sessions to early childhood professionals, please include these numbers in the body of your email when you send your completed recording log--it will be excellent addition data to support the program and demonstrate libraries commitment to early literacy. Thanks to all of you who have already submitted your recording logs!
