Our thanks to Winter Storm Saturn for making yesterday the perfect Share-a-Story kind of day. For many of us, the snow & high winds brought down power lines, creating adventures of playing outside, sitting in front of the fire, and reading books.
Although I loved having the opportunity to “do nothing,” the lack of access to the Internet made it a bit challenging to add and schedule today's kickoff post.
Ultimately, it pushed me to think a little more creatively ... like we often do when we're trying not to sound like a broken record with every “teaching moment” that presents itself. Preschoolers are a savvy lot, and it doesn't take too many letter games for them to realize what we're doing!
Makes me so grateful to have +Tif Sweeney as our host today on the ABCs of Literacy with Preschoolers at Tif Talks Books. Here is what's on tap today.
- Dawn Little talks about nonfiction with preschoolers in Discover-ing Baskets of Hands-on Learning at Literacy Toolbox;
- +Debbie Alvarez shares the ABCs of reading and writing with your 4-year-old at The Styling Librarian;
- +Erica MomandKiddo gives us 6 ways to make rhyming part of everyday life at What Do We do All Day;
- +Liz Hughes explains my family is not special at Inventing Liz; and
- Sheila Magovern shares her ideas about engaging busy bodies on the Marketing Barefoot blog.
Last but not least, save a little energy ... our Writing @ Reading prompts will go live at Noon today.
