Ideas for Storytime and Early Literacy Play


Two recent ALSC blog posts looked at program ideas for our youngest patrons. 

On Sept 3, Ariel Barreras shared a number of engaging early literacy programming ideas that can expand the types of programs you do beyond storytime. You can read her post here. [Early Literacy Program Ideas for Your Library. Barreras, Ariel. ALSC Blog. September 3, 2023.]

A few days later, frequent contributor Kary Henry reflected on the use of themes in storytime.  She uses them and explains why. And her surprising choices help us see that there are a wide array of thematic approaches beyond leaves or colors! Please stop here to read her mind-expanding thoughts sparked by early literacy guru Mel Depper. [To Theme or Not to Theme...  Henry, Kary. ALSC Blog. September 5, 2023.]
