Tracking Children’s Early Literacy Skills: Options for Libraries
Virtual Conference Program
Friday, March 16
3:45–4:45 PM Eastern
Training home child care providers to foster early literacy skills can powerfully impact the school readiness of three and four year olds. Learn how Carroll County (MD) Public Library’s ground-breaking, scientifically-based study used the High/Scope Early Literacy Skills Assessment tool to track the children’s progress. Get inspired to conduct a study, big or small, and implement similar training in your own library. Learn about formal and informal tools to gather information from providers and parents that can be useful to support the work you are doing.
