Storytime Kits: Have you wanted to offer story-times in your library for babies or toddlers but didn’t know where to start? If you offer baby and toddler story-times now, are you looking to refresh your programs with some new ideas, titles, CDs, and activities? These kits will allow your library to offer baby- and toddler-specific storytimes for the first time, refresh your existing programs, or let you explore new titles and fun resources. The kits were based on Every Child Ready to Read, 2nd edition, and feature books, songs, rhymes, early literacy tips for parents, and hands-on activities that correspond with the critical early literacy activities of reading, talking, singing, writing, and playing.
Re-Imagining School Readiness Kits: These kits are designed to build on the storytime kits to offer fresh ways of engaging crucial school readiness skills. We currently have kits on coding, community helpers, dinosaurs, fort building, mazes, spatial & liquid measurement, and music & movement!
