Message-ID: <640435851FD7CB4AB3C4BE0D1963BA24529605B6@OSLEXCHANGE.osl.state.or.us.local> [StoryTime_banner_ad_728x90] Last month, Governor Kitzhaber and the Oregon Education Investment Board launched stORytime. As an early childhood professional, I hope you will consider how you can support this effort. What is stORytime? It is a new statewide public awareness campaign to encourage families and caregivers to talk, sing, read, and play every day everywhere with their children from birth through third grade. The goal of the campaign is to address barriers that make it difficult for families and caregivers to engage their children in language and literacy activities. The desired outcome of the campaign is that all children will be reading at grade level by third grade. Those who developed the campaign translated StORytime as La hORa del cuento for the Spanish-speaking community. What can you do? The folks behind stORytime are looking for partners. Here are a few ideas of how you can engage. * Incorporate the StORytime materials in your early literacy efforts such as storytimes and early literacy workshops with parents in collaboration with other agencies and organizations. * Offer tips about talking, singing, reading and playing with children via your newsletter, website, or social media and brand your tips/articles with a storytime logo. For example, you can pull ideas from Washington Learning System's On-the-Go early literacy activities (in English and Spanish) or encourage families to download and use the Vroom app that provides parents with developmentally appropriate early literacy activities they can do every day everywhere. Vroom is not an app for kids! It gives parents ideas like "While doing the laundry describe what you're doing to your baby and ask your preschooler help you sort clothes by color." * Partner with community organizations, libraries, and schools to have a family literacy community event to educate families about literacy support in the community, distribute books and other resources, and engage in fun literacy activities. * Work with your local early learning hub, school/school district, or Education Service District to select one or two groups of underserved families and plan a literacy program for specifically those families. What are you already doing? * Please 'reply all' to this email and tell others how you are participating in StORytime. This is new so we're all looking for ideas!

December?s learning topic is receptive language, the ability to understand what is being said. December is a great month for preschoolers to work on receptive language because holiday crafts and art projects require them to follow basic instructions. The articles about early learning topics are relevant statewide and Ready 2 Learn is happy to share them. You may copy and distribute their newsletter as it is or copy their articles into your own newsletter/website as long as you credit the authors of the article and Ready 2 Learn. Please remember that this newsletter created by and for the Ready 2 Learn project in north eastern Oregon so other items in it may be relevant only to people from participating communities, such as liking their FaceBook page to enter contests to win prizes. For the same reason, their local Spanish translation may be different than what you would use in your community.

Below is an announcement from the Oregon Registry about a training of trainers for the Early Words curriculum on February 21st in Tigard. Participating in the training of trainers means you would be able to conduct Early Words training for childcare providers and offer them continuing education credit. What is Early Words? It is an early literacy curriculum based on the same research as the Every Child Ready to Read early literacy curriculum. What?s the difference between Every Child Ready to Read and Early Words? The intended audience and depth of information. ? If you want to provide early literacy training to parents and informal childcare providers who are only responsible for a few children at a time, then the Every Child Ready to Read is more appropriate for your intended audience because it provides the level of information families need to help their children get ready to read. ? If you want to provide early literacy training to childcare providers who are responsible for large groups of children, then Early Words is more appropriate for your intended audience because it provides a higher level of knowledge early childhood professionals need to plan educational programs. As I mentioned both curriculums are based on the same research. Therefore if you have a preference for one curriculum over the other, then you may use that curriculum for both audiences. I?ve used Early Words with parents effectively and Every Child Ready to Read with childcare providers effectively. The more tools you have in your early literacy toolbox the better you will be able to meet the needs of each unique audience. If you are not already in the Oregon Registry Trainer Program, then you will need to apply for the level of trainer you are interested in becoming in addition to the training application. Each level of trainer has a basic application. Click this link to go to the program page http://www.pdx.edu/occd/oregon-registry-trainer-program-6. A link to the applications is located just under the photograph. Questions?

Here are two new resources I found that may fit your need! Learning Opportunities for Children Up to Age 4: I see something, what do you see? (Available in English, Spanish, and 11 more languages) http://www.kinder-4.ch/en/filme_alter * Opening your eyes to the world as children see it In their early years, children learn more than in any later stage of their lives. They are curious. They explore the world with all their senses. Everyday life is full of opportunities to discover new things. The 40 short films illustrate what happens on these explorative journeys. * Revealing the meaning of everyday life When parents and other caregivers accompany children in their early years in an attentive manner, they support them in a crucial phase of their development. The 40 short films show that there is no need for anything extraordinary: Learning opportunities present themselves in countless moments of everyday life. * Supporting the work of professionals In particular, the short films are designed to support professionals who work in early childhood education, care and upbringing: In the areas of family support, parental counseling and education. For this reason, the short films are available in 13 languages; there is extensive expert commentary, communication tools and a box which contains all products, including all films on a USB stick. Moreover, the films and expert commentary are available for the training of experts or for the quality work of family support facilities. ZERO TO THREE(r) The Magic of Everyday Moments: Seeing is Believing (English only) http://www.zerotothree.org/parenting-resources/MOEM/ A captivating new series of videos that show how adult interactions shape the growth and learning of infants and toddlers. Videos that explore key aspects of early childhood development for use in work with parents and trainees, including: * Brain Wonders: Nurturing Healthy Brain Development From Birth * Literacy Skills: The Roots of Reading Start at Birth * Power of Play: Building Skills While Having Fun * Temperament: What Makes Your Child Tick? Oregon StORytime (English with some Spanish and other languages) http://storytimeoregon.com/videos/ Watch real families in communities across Oregon finding every day, everywhere activities to build literacy skills with their children.

Book lists are available online at: http://www.ala.org/alsc/2015-building-steam-dia-book-lists. The lists also feature simple and age appropriate STEAM activities to accompany one of the titles on the list. Each is designed to help librarians and parents bring the book to life through easy hands-on STEAM activities. Titles and activities in the Building STEAM with D?a book lists were selected and developed by members of ALSC's Quicklists Consulting Committee. These free book lists were made possible through the Everyone Reads @ your library grand funded by the Dollar General Literacy Foundation. About D?a D?a, El d?a de los ni?os/El d?a de los libros (Children's Day/Book Day), is a nationally recognized initiative that emphasizes the importance of literacy for all children from all backgrounds. The D?a celebration was founded in 1996 by children's book author Pat Mora, who proposed conceptually linking the existing El D?a del Ni?o with literacy. The founding partner of D?a is REFORMA, the National Association to Promote Library and Information Services to Latinos and the Spanish-Speaking. For more information please visit http://dia.ala.org.
