Workshops for Early Childhood Teachers at Your Library: Early Literacy and Play
Everything we do with children has the potential to positively impact their development. Research shows that giving children time and a supportive environment in which to play each day helps them develop the pre-reading skills they need. Our 2012 workshop for early childhood teachers is all about play and ensuring that every child is ready to read. This workshop will be offered one Saturday per month.
Our January workshop will be held on Saturday the 21st in the Central Library auditorium. Sign-in for registered participants will begin at 9:00 a.m. The workshop will be 9:15-12:15 with an optional make-and-take session afterward. Participants will receive a certificate for 3 training hours.
WHO MAY ATTEND? Any residents of Bexar County who:
- Work directly with young children (birth-five years) AND
- Want to learn about how to help young children develop early literacy skills. (Children may not attend with you.)

New in 2012: On-site workshops
Our new early literacy materials focus on five simple strategies that parents and caregivers can use to help their children develop pre-reading skills. Little Read Wagon is now available to present an overview of these strategies to staff at your location. Participants will receive a certificate for one training hour.
If your center has a suitable meeting space and at least fifteen staff who will commit to attend the training, we would like to hear from you! Do you have a smaller staff or no appropriate place to gather? Contact us anyway and we will see about partnering with a neighboring center. Visit http://bit.ly/ReqLRWProg to request a workshop. |
