Description: Are you looking for new picture books to
offer at your storytimes? Storytimes are one of the most popular and consistent
library programs offered by libraries, yet we often feature the "tried and
true" books we have used for years. In this webinar Penny Peck will focus
on new picture books that will engage the storytime audience. We will look at:
books that invite audience participation, books the promote the five parent
practices (talking, singing, writing, playing, and reading), books based on
songs and nursery rhymes, books that promote preliteracy skills and
kindergarten readiness, and websites useful to storytime planning.
At the end of this one-hour webinar,
participants will have learned about many new books that can be included in
storytimes, including:
- Cumulative, circular, sing-along, and
audience participation books that enliven storytimes
- Books that promote the Five Parent
Practices to add parent learning to your storytimes
- Books that promote preliteracy skills
and kindergarten readiness, with ideas for related hands-on activities
- Books that reflect the diversity of
the families we serve
This webinar will be of interest to: Any
library staff member who provides storytime programs to children, including new
children's librarians or other library staff who are relatively new to serving
children. This webinar is particularly valuable for support staff whose work
