1. Share a Story-Shape a Future: Our Winners ...

Actually all of us are winners, don't you think? I will do a wrap-up post here in a little bit, but I want to first say

THANK YOU!! 

to everyone who hosted, wrote about, tweeted about, talked about, drew logos for, or sponsored a piece of our Share a Story - Shape a Future blog tour. It was a wonderful week, and I hope that you found encouragement, inspiration, or reassurance in your own reading journey and in helping children with theirs.

Over at There's a Book  Danielle announced the winners of the Itty-Bitty-Bookworm curriculum giveaways. Congratulations to the Summit County Integrated Preschool in Newberry, which one years one and two of the curriculum. If you didn't know, Tara was so touched by each of the stories offered by the applicants that she expanded her giveaway and is giving East Elementary and Fleming Island Elementary a full year of the Bo Curriculum, also.

We had three other giveaways, to.

Reading is Fundamental (RIF) donated two full sets (50 books each) of its Multicultural Book Collection. The RIF staff selected finalists from posts created in response to our Writing about Reading prompt series. Our winners are ...

Tess Alfonsin, the Reading Countess, who is donating her book set to Morton Ranch Elementary. From Tess: "This school struggles to put books in the hands of their readers. It is a Title 1 school, and as such, money for books is at the low end of priorities for many families whose children attend the school. The dedicated staff and instructional leaders are inspirations to not only me, but to their student population. The school's phrase is: "a school worthy of your children." I think that says it all."

Cuyahoga Falls Public Library. From Eric: "This library has given my family so much over the past 4 years. The staff works so hard to provide a variety of programs for the residents of our city. I was recently talking to the head librarian and she is so proud of the efforts of her staff. It would be awesome for them to receive this donation!"

Because we had more books to giveaway than entries for the 2 Comments on Share a Story-Shape a Future: Our Winners ..., last added: 3/15/2010

2. Thanks to Itty Bitty Bookworm, Children Can Start Learning with Books

It is time once again to thank one of the generous donors for Share a Story 2010 ... The Itty Bitty Bookworm, creator Tara Rison, and her team.

When Tara opened her preschool several years ago, she wanted to create a story-based curriculum. When she couldn't find one, she created her own. The results of her passion are two programs, one for toddlers and one for preschoolers, both built around children's books.

The magic of The Itty-Bitty Bookworm is in the simple, organized, teach-it-yourself curriculum. It’s a literature-based program on CD that does all the planning for you, so you can focus on what's important ~ your children
Tara is very graciously donating one full-year subscription for each of her programs for Share a Story 2010.
  • Bailey Curriculum ~ for children 18 months -36 months. Here is a sample (pdf) of what the Bailey program includes. 
  • Bo Curriculum ~ for children 3 to 5 years old. Here is a sample (pdf) from the Bo Curriculum. 
When we open the giveaway during Share a Story week, we will accept nominations for recipients. Eligible winners include government funded or subsidized preschools serving economically disadvantaged children; public schools (e.g., Bright Stars, Head Start); or a family services organization that has a literacy outreach. This is a community event, so we will create a ballot for people to vote as nominations are received. More details about the nominations will follow.

You do not have to work at the school or have a child at the school, but you do need to give us the details about the school. Tara's goal, like ours, is to improve access to books for readers in need.
