Video Early Literacy Tips

It's never too early (or too late) to introduce a child to the wonderful world of books. Some people might ask, "Why share a book with a child that can't even talk? And what does it look like when you do?" Check out the videos on the Birth to Six site from Hennepin County Library here for information on the importance of sharing books with babies and toddlers. These terrific videos were produced as part of the Read to Me Program - an intergenerational reading program.

Got 20 Minutes?

An excellent video online is available from Washington Learning Systems about the subject of talking and learning. The Corvallis-Benton County Public Library is spotlighting this video as part of this month's Birth to Six topic. The video, "Talking and Learning: Language is Key" offers parents and providers with advice on how important language is and ideas for building language skills in children. Take a look: http://www.walearning.com/English.html.

Making reading-aloud with your child part of your daily routine is a great way to encourage a love of language. Building literacy skills doesn't involve only books. Take time each day to talk with your child - whether it's sharing a favorite picture book or reading-aloud recipes while cooking, your mail or signs you pass on a walk downtown. Talk about new words, describe the environment around you, and ask your child open-ended questions to encourage conversation. Sing songs and play with the sounds of words!

The Corvallis-Benton County Public Library has numerous resources for building language skills with your small child. Stop by and see us!
