SUMMARY:Applying Early Literacy in Storytime Settings
DESCRIPTION:Storytime isn’t just fun- it’s foundational. In this session\, we’ll explore how to intentionally apply early literacy practices to storytime sessions in meaningful\, engaging\, and developmentally supportive ways. Learn how to align your book choices\, songs\, activities\, and interactions with the five early literacy practices (talk\, sing\, read\, write\, play)\, and better understand the “why” behind what we do. \n\n\n\nWe’ll explore how to share early literacy concepts with caregivers in ways that feel approachable and encouraging\, making storytime a shared journey toward lifelong learning. Whether you’re refreshing your approach or looking to build more intentionality into your storytimes\, this session will help connect the dots between storytime fun and meaningful impact. \n\n\n\nWhat attendees will learn: \n\n\n\n\nLearn how to incorporate the five early literacy practices (talk\, sing\, read\, write\, play) into storytime planning and delivery\n\n\n\nIdentify developmentally appropriate strategies to support language and literacy development in babies\, toddlers\, and preschoolers\n\n\n\nGain tools to articulate the purpose of storytime and the value of early literacy to caregivers.\n\n\n\n\nABOUT THE PRESENTER \n\n\n\nKatie Clausen is the Early Literacy Services Manager at the Gail Borden Public Library and a current PhD candidate in Information Studies at Dominican University.
