Keeping Up With Kids
A preschooler develops fine-motor skills and self-expression at the same time in Menomonie!
Hennepin County (MN) Library produced a 13-minute, beautiful video for parents to help them understand ways to support early literacy as they talk, sing, read, write, and play with their children, noting specifically the connections to early literacy and later reading. The first eleven minutes of the video relate to early literacy and libraries in general, which makes it useful for all libraries!  Please credit the Hennepin County Library if you use it!  A DVD is also available, and they are working on a resource guide as a companion to the video.
