First Steps to Literacy
This volume features seven library programmes that should help librarians in extending the traditional children's programming to include adults.
Books in Motion
Librarians and educators can shake up storytimes, help children stay healthy, and encourage a lifelong love of reading with Dietzel-Glair’s easy-to-use resource. Demonstrating exactly how to use children’s books to engage preschool-age children through movement, it’s loaded with storytimes that will have children standing up tall, balancing as they pretend to walk across a bridge, or even flying around the room like an airplane. Presenting hundreds of ideas, this all-in-one book is divided into six sections: “Art” spotlights titles that are natural hooks for art or craft activities alongside ideas on how to create art just like the character in the story, while an appendix includes...
Transforming Preschool Storytime
According to recent research, the best way to make new connections in a child’s brain is by building on something already known. A child who loves a book will listen to it repeatedly, maintaining interest. Using a selected book in a number of consecutive preschool storytimes, but presenting it differently each time, can help children learn new skill sets. This book presents a new approach to storytime, one that employs repetition with variety to create an experience which helps children connect and engage with the story on a higher level. Diamant-Cohen, recently awarded the 2013 ASCLA Leadership and Professional Achievement Award, and Hetrick offer a year’s worth of activities specifical...

Managing Children's Services in the Public Library
This practical guide for planning and implementing children's services has been completely updated and revised, reflecting the enormous changes in our society and the library profession. Organized along the same lines as the first edition, the book covers management within the department, the relationship between the children's department and the larger institution, and community relations. Fasick addresses topics ranging from service plans, goals and objectives, policies, and procedures to special events, emergencies, budgets, funding efforts, staff, patrons, communication, and public relations. This revised edition contains new material on writing grant proposals, fund-raising, staff recruitment and training, organizing Internet services, and planning a Web site. Sections on services to homeschoolers, self-care children, and disabled persons have also been expanded. An indispensable professional guide for children's librarians, this book can also be used as a text in library and information studi
Babies in the Library!
Eclectic library reading programs for young children have blossomed across the nation over the last decade, encouraging in toddlers a fondness for the library and an excitement for the caches of books to be found there. Likewise, in an effort to promote a love of language in babies as young as three months old, scores of early childhood initiatives are beginning to sprout as well. Aimed at children's librarians and other professionals who work with very young children, this librarian-tested sourcebook provides complete programs that spotlight the value and necessity of singing, speaking, and reading to babies in their earliest months. Ten ready-to-use programs are divided for their intended ...
The Value of Games
This work brings together a collection of games that have been a part of childhood through the ages, games that continue to be played in various forms around the world. Many anthologies of folktales, music, and other forms of art have been collected for readers, but there are not many works on the subject of traditional childhood games and their role in the important “work” of childhood, which is in fact play. This book helps to meet a growing interest among educators and parents to encourage natural play and creativity in a world that is increasingly digital. Directions, descriptions, illustrations, of traditional childhood games, supported by educational theory are included. The material covered will not only help parents and educators to support children in play, but will also provide an anthology for consultation by those who see the need to preserve traditional play long associated with childhood.
The Head Start Mother
Drawing on her own experience many years ago and on interviews with more recent mothers of children in the Headstart program of a community in the upper Midwest, Peters explains how staff members can use the program to help parents become better at the task of parenting, and enhance the parents' self-esteem so that can effect change in their environment and eventually move out on poverty.
