      Description

RTRThis is one workshop in a series of Ready to Read programs offered by 
the State Library of Ohio in partnership with the Ohio Library Council 
and the Regional Library Systems of Ohio. To find workshops in other 
areas, please visit the Ohio Ready to Read Registration website

/An overview of the Every Child Ready to Read early literacy initiative/

We have a challenge in Ohio. And Ohio's libraries are part of the 
solution. Last year, over 1/3 of Ohio's 130,000 kindergarteners arrived 
on their very first day of school not prepared to succeed as learners. 
Public libraries need to reach out to these children. We need to work 
with our community head start programs, our daycare programs, our 
parents, our grandparents.

The Basic Ready to Read workshop offers an overview of the Every Child 
Ready to Read® early literacy initiative from the Public Library 
Association and the Association for Library Service to Children of the 
American Library Association.

The workshop examines three levels: Early Talkers, (Newborn to Two-Years 
Old) Talkers, (Two and Three Years Old) and Pre-Readers, (Four and Five 
Years Old). The program integrates sharing good books, rhymes, songs and 
activities with the six skills necessary for later reading success.

Participants will have hands on practice with portions of the 
Pre-Readers and Talkers parent workshops. They will also learn how to 
initiate new partnerships or strengthen existing ones. Participants will 
leave with practical ways to develop and implement a strong role for the 
library in the early childhood community.

This workshop is designed as a partnership effort between the local 
public library and the local early childhood outlet (i.e., daycare 
centers, Headstart, Ohio Association for the Education of Young Children 
affiliate, etc.) *Library staff are encouraged to invite early childhood 
partners to register and attend with them. In-Service CEU forms will be 
available for all early childhood staff attending.*
