FREE: PLAY: Preschool Literacy And You!

The listing, PLAY: Preschool Literacy And You! has ended.

This pamphlet is from the Noble Neighborhood Library here in the Cleveland Heights, OH area. The letters PLAY stand for Preschool Literacy And You! The PLAYroom at the Heights Libraries' Noble Neighborhood Branch is the perfect space for parents and caregivers to interact with children in an environment designed for literacy-based learning and fun.

The American Library Association has defined five activities that build early literacy skills: singing, reading, writing, talking, and playing. Every piece of equipment, every toy, even the design of the PLAYroom itself, encourages these five activities and boosts each child's natural curiosity as they play by asking questions, answering questions, singing songs, engaging in dramatic play, rhyming, and calling things by name. The best type of play is open-ended and child-directed. Let your child take the lead and see some of the amazing things they'll do! And, since the PLAYroom is in a public library, children will also have the opportunity to interact and socialize with other children. As you can tell from this description, we are VERY PLEASED & PROUD of the PLAYroom!

PS: The PLAYroom was developed with the assistance of a State Library of Ohio Library Services and Technology Act grant. If you don't live in this area, you may want to see if a Library Services and Technology Act grant is available in your area. Happy Bidding!
