Parent Tip Take-Home – the early literacy skill you have selected here
 
Research indicates that (list the early literacy skill you have selected), or (a definition of the skill you have selected), is an important skill for children to know before they go to school.  (There are great phrases to borrow or customize for your library in the book Early Literacy Storytimes @ your library by Saroj Nadkarni Ghoting and Pamela Martin-Diaz)
 

Today at the Library…


We read some books about (your theme).  We also (add any other activities during storytime.  Did you have a snack?  Do a craft?  An activity from the book Early Literacy Storytimes @ your library by Saroj Nadkarni Ghoting and Pamela Martin-Diaz or the ALA Every Child Ready to Read @ your library training manual?)

 

(This is a great area to add a take home activity to tie the early literacy skill you practiced during storytime to a home learning experience.  There are great ideas in the books mentioned above.) 

 

(Encourage parents to keep reading and literacy activities fun and make each activity during the day a learning experience.)
