From katie.anderson at state.or.us Fri Apr 1 15:41:45 2011 From: katie.anderson at state.or.us (Katie Anderson) Date: Fri, 1 Apr 2011 22:41:45 +0000 Subject: [RFHF] Library logs due Message-ID: <640435851FD7CB4AB3C4BE0D1963BA241B15D5D5@OSLEXCHANGE.osl.state.or.us.local> Attention Library Staff: 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. Tips for filling out your log: * Many people are uncomfortable signing in or providing their name, therefore "Family Name" is not required. Please just identify them as 'Family 1', 'Family 2', etc. and list them individually on your log. See the attached 'sample.log' for an example. * 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. * "Session Time" is in 15 minute increments only. Please round your session time up or down to the closest 15 minute increment. Remember, you may not count childcare providers, preschool teachers, or other early childhood professionals because NPC Research and our funders are evaluating parent education only. 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. You no longer need to submit logs after you have provided early literacy education to15 families. Thanks to all of you who have already submitted your recording logs or have met your commitment of serving 15 families!

Into the Minds of Babes: How Screen Time Affects Children From Birth to Age Five. NY: Perseus Books. ISBN: 978-0-465-02798-9 As a mother, Lisa Guernsey wondered about the influence of TV on her two young daughters. As a reporter, she resolved to find out. What she first encountered was tired advice, sensationalized research claims, and a rather draconian mandate from the American Association of Pediatricians: no TV at all before the age of two. But like many parents, she wanted straight answers and realistic advice, so she kept digging: she visited infant-perception laps and child development centers around the country. She interviewed scored of parents, psychologists, cognitive scientists, and media researchers, as well as programming executives at Noggin, Disney, Nickelodeon, Sesame Workshop, and PBS. Much of what she found flies in the face of conventional wisdom and led her to conclude that new parents will be best served by focusing on "the three C's": content, context, and the individual child. Advocating a new approach to TV and DVDs, Guernsey focuses on infants to five-year-olds and goes beyond the headlines to explore what exactly is "educational" about educational media. She examines how play and language development are affected by background and foreground TV and how to choose videos that are age-appropriate. She explains how to avoid the hype of "brain stimulation" and focus instead on social relationships and the building blocks of language and literacy. Along the way, she highlights independent research on shows ranging from Dora The Explorer to Dragon Tales, and distills some surprising new findings in the field of child development.
