From katie.anderson at state.or.us Fri Aug 5 08:49:47 2011 From: katie.anderson at state.or.us (Katie Anderson) Date: Fri, 5 Aug 2011 15:49:47 +0000 Subject: [RFHF] Library logs due (cohorts 9-12) Message-ID: <640435851FD7CB4AB3C4BE0D1963BA241BA6908D@OSLEXCHANGE.osl.state.or.us.local> Attention Library Staff from cohorts 9, 10, 11, and 12: 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!

I just learned of another great resource on developmental milestones. http://www.oregon.gov/OSL/LD/youthsvcs/rfhf.special.topics.shtml#Developmental_Milestones Milestone Moments: Learn the Signs. Act Early. This booklet by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention provides parents with a checklist of key cognitive and physical milestones, suggests activities to help children learn and grow, and provides information about what parents can do if they are concerned about developmental delays. While the focus of this booklet is over-all child development, it provides a lot of information around language development which is the foundation of early literacy. In addition, many of the suggested activities support early literacy development. For example: * Your baby at 2 months: Look at pictures with your baby and talk about them. * Your baby at 4 months: Repeat your child's sounds and say simple words that start with hose sounds. * Your baby at 1 year: Build on what your child says or tries to say, or what he points to. If he points to a truck and says "t" or "truck," say, "Yes, that's a big, blue truck."

Message-ID: <640435851FD7CB4AB3C4BE0D1963BA241BACA96E@OSLEXCHANGE.osl.state.or.us.local> Hello! I have been very busy this month transforming the Reading for Healthy Families website now that we are nearing the end of the grant project (the end is in January 2012). The website is now designed to provide early literacy information and resources to all early childhood professionals, rather than information on RFHF trainings etc. The goal of this website is to provide you and other early childhood professionals the support you need to provide early literacy activities, events, and education locally. New research, resources, and information will be added as I learn about it. If you know of a valuable early literacy resource that you think should be shared on this website, please let me know. (FYI: I also learned how to post the PowerPoints properly so you don't have to look at them sideways anymore!) Here is a screen-shot of the new home page, go check it out at: http://www.oregon.gov/OSL/LD/youthsvcs/rfhf.home.page.shtml (it's the same URL as before).

Message-ID: <640435851FD7CB4AB3C4BE0D1963BA241BAF4509@OSLEXCHANGE.osl.state.or.us.local> Hi! Yesterday I received a question I thought all of you would want to know the answer to: Q: This is the first year that I find myself struggling to get a donation or grant to purchase books. Do you have any ideas for avenues that I might pursue? A: Here is the link to the list of all the literacy grant opportunities I know about: http://www.oregon.gov/OSL/LD/youthsvcs/rfhf.deal.on.kids.books.shtml#Literacy_Grants. The Oregon Foundation Data Book is available at most public libraries (http://www.worldcat.org/title/oregon-foundation-data-book/oclc/30858462&referer=brief_results). If the public library in your community does not have it, ask the librarian if you can check it out via interlibrary loan-the librarian should know what that means and how to do it for you. The following counties have First Book Advisory Boards that provide books to non-profits via an application process: Baker County, Deschutes County, Lane County, Hood River County, Linn-Benton County, Union County, and Multnomah County. Learn more here: http://www.firstbook.org/get-involved/volunteer/find-a-local-advisory-board. Another thing to think of is partnering with a local bookstore (or baby store that sells lots of books) and do a good old fashion book drive--customers purchase books to donate right there and the store puts all the donated books in boxes and you go pick them up--it's a win-win for you and the bookstore!

As you know, the early literacy curriculum used in RFHF was updated earlier this year. The underlying information is the same, but the Every Child Ready to Read 2nd Edition early literacy curriculum provides new and different ways for you to present the information to parents and providers. Now that some of you have both editions in hand you are probably starting to think about what to do with them. Here is what Nathan Jones is doing in St. Helens: The [Every Child Ready to Read 2nd Edition] kit is here, the poster is up, the brochures and bookmarks are already in the hands of parents. It is a very nice curriculum, I find it very useful to have both editions though. It allows me to pick and choose which one is most appropriate for different parents. Some parents, who have a lot of knowledge about reading already, seem to take better to the original version - while the majority of parents, who feel totally lost, seem to appreciate the simplicity of the 2nd edition. I?ll probably purchase some additional brochures to share with our local Head Start and add the curriculum to our professional collection so that Head Start teachers can borrow it from us informally. Nathan Jones Youth Librarian St. Helens Public Library 375 South 18th Street St. Helens, OR 97051 (503) 397-4544 ext. 102 nathanj at ci.st-helens.or.us I encourage you to share how you are using the Every Child Ready to Read 2nd Edition on this listserv and to ask question on this list to learn what your fellow RFHF participants are doing with the new and old versions to get ideas that might work for you and the families or providers your serve.
