Summary: |
"This DVD shows you how to help children learn to love reading and how easy it can be to create a home where literacy is naturally encouraged. " Suitable for family literacy programs and early childhood education. School districts have given this video to parents as part of the "Ready, Set, Learn" program, and parents with children in kindergarten or school have received it through various early learning initiatives. It is especially effective at bringing literacy information to parents and caregivers with low literacy skills. It features children and their parents, from various cultural and socio-economic backgrounds, doing age-appropriate activities together, with narrative by various experts. There are sections about babies, toddlers, preschoolers, and primary school-age children. It is engaging and fun! At the end of the program, there is a ReadTV segment of Oscar and his mum making muffins (which can also be viewed at http://www.readtv.com/series). There is also a booster seat promotion. The library has 2 copies: one for individual use only, and one with Public Performance Rights, which may be shown to groups of any size. |
