| Description |
Infants and toddlers listen to stories being read to them in a variety of settings, such as bedtime routines by parents or caregivers or within the curriculum of child care environments. These interactions can be rich opportunities for learning for both caregiver and child. Hands-on exploration of objects and materials related to the stories by these children enhances the learning experience. Simple adaptations, such as story boxes can often increase a child’s engagement and participation in “storytime”, which can lead to increased opportunities for learning. Come explore the rationale and practicalities of bringing stories to life and brainstorm strategies to share this information within the context of an early intervention visit.
Objectives:
1) understand early literacy and its impact on young children’s development
2) explore adaptations for infants and toddlers of all abilities to be able to participate
3) identify strategies to share these strategies within early intervention visits
