From Dawn Gurski-Ohlfs, Holmen, WI We have a Reading Together in Kindergarten program in our district based
on Helen Davig's work. We recently noticed that many of these students do not
hold public library cards and decided to work with the local public library to
invite our families to the library on a Saturday morning. In March we are
planning an hour program for our families where they will be treated
storytelling, a tour of the library,(both provided by the library) and our
children will receive their cards. It is our hope to be the bridge from school
to public library so families will feel welcome and comfortable to use the local
library and continue reading throughout the year and especially summer months.
From Cheryl Granzo, Ionia County, Michigan Hello again from Michigan! We are very excited about using the Read with
Me program and plan to do a variety of parent workshops with the program in
March. As a tool to assist parents we have developed a series of bookmarks that
will fit on a ring so each time a parent comes a new strategy will be added to
the ring. We will have some other bookmarks (nursery rhymes etc.) that we will
be adding to the ring as well. Each one has a copyright to Thinking
Publcations. Julie De Angelis from Melbourne, Australia reports that she often uses vouchers from local groceries stores as incentives to get parents to come to our workshops. Julie reports this works very well for them and parents are happy with the free groceries. |
