Colorado, way to go! First of all, "Colorado Libraries for Early Literacy" is a brilliant statewide initiative. Second, I love Storyblocks!
Storyblocks is a website for parents, caregivers, etc. with lots of age-appropriate videos in English and Spanish of librarians demonstrating rhymes and songs to share with little ones, helping them develop vocabulary and phonological awarenes. This website is awesome.
I will be in Denver, CO in September for the
REFORMA 4th National Conference, presenting a preconference workshop on bilingual programming for various ages with a panel of librarians from across the country. I will love to meet with other librarians in or near Denver, or attending the conference, who are serving Latino families, offering bilingual programs, or promoting early literacy to Spanish-speaking parents. It is always so invigorating to hear the creative ways in which others are making an impact!
What are other libraries and librarians doing in a visible way to promote early literacy and empower parents?
