Early Literacy 101, a workshop presented by Ohio Ready to Read<https://ohreadytoread.org/>, is for new and seasoned library workers in children's services and outreach. It's great for anyone who plans and presents storytimes, and for anyone who wants to learn how to help children get ready to read. Participants will learn how brain development impacts how young children learn, and will explore effective, research-based early literacy resources and activities.

Recent participants have said about Early Literacy 101:

  *   I now have a vocabulary and strategies to use when it comes to addressing reading comprehension. Presenters were very knowledgeable and were very open to sharing their expertise.
  *   This was a very informative workshop! You balanced sharing information with some fun activities and plenty of breaks to move around.
  *   I have a whole new perspective on the importance of story times and intentionally planning them to support our community's literacy growth.
  *   Sessions like this dissolve some anxiety and fear that I hold around storytime. There is a lot of joy in the work and refocusing on the positive is helpful, especially when surrounded by folks who are joyful about the practice.

The workshop covers the Six Early Literacy Skills presented in the PLA/ALSC Every Child Ready to Read(r) 1st edition, and the Five Early Literacy Practices presented in the 2nd edition, along with other early literacy concepts and storytime tips.
