<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Suzette Tidrick from East Guernsey Local School District and Donna King talked about GRREAT--Guaranteeing Reading Readiness Through Early Literacy Activities and Technology.
GRREAT operates through a partnership with Crossroads Public Library, the East Guernsey Local S.D., and the Rolling Hills Local S.D. and is funded with grant money from the Ohio Department of Education. Through the grant they are developing and purchasing
literacy kits to be used by children, teachers, and parents; offering professional development for preschool and K-3 teachers; purchasing professional development books and literacy supplies for classroom teachers; purchasing quality children’s books; sponsoring
two literacy nights in each school district; and creating a “Book Nook” at Crossroads Public Library and one other branch.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

for parents and for librarians, and she reminded us that all the programs, collections, and activities that public libraries have been providing all along support the goals of Common Core.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
