SOUTH CAROLINA EVERY CHILD READY TO READ BLOG

Welcome to a blog created just for children's librarians and other staff who work with children and parents in South Carolina public libraries. As you know, the SC State Library provided training in this story time method that is research-based and proven to be effective in showing library staff, parents, and teachers of young children techniques that can help us help preschool children be ready to learn to read.
I hope that this blog will be an opportunity for anyone doing story programs in libraries to share how they are using ECRTR in their library. What changes or adjustments have you made in story programs since the spring training? What are the challenges? How are you involving parents and preschool educators in the programs you do at the library or in a child care setting?
These are just a few ideas for starting discussion.
