The CLEL (Colorado Libraries for Early Literacy) Bell Picture Book Awards are an annual recognition of five high-quality picture books that provide excellent support of early literacy development in young children.  The 10^th Annual CLEL Bell Award Shortlist has been announced!  The shortlist of 25 titles, five for each early literacy practice (READ, WRITE, TALK, PLAY, SING) was chosen from 91 nominations from committee members.  You can choose to read all 25 titles or pick a category and read only five.

 

Here’s what we’ll do at our discussion:

• Think about how to support emerging readers and families with excellent new titles
• Practice your book evaluation skills in a safe and not-too-overwhelming context
• Have a good time talking about books with colleagues from around the system (and state)
• Get prepared to vote for your own favorites by January 30

 

Because this check-in has more structure, directors needing contact hours for certification can count 1.5 hours.

 

Let me know if you have questions!
