Ready to Read at New York Libraries
From the Division of Library Development at the New York State Library:
The New York State Library has added several new resources to the Ready to Read at New York Libraries website, on the Early Literacy Resources page.
- ABC Mouse is an online education initiative to help children be ready for school. It is free for libraries, Head Start programs, and public and private schools.
- Jbrary is a blog with great storytime resources, including YouTube playlists and ideas about using puppets, music, dance, and more.
- Storytime Underground is a peer community for storytime staff and includes storytime resources, Storytime University for professional development, and a place to ask questions.
We have also added a new resource under Head Start to our Partner Organizations page.
- Early Essentials is a series of 9 videos from the Early Head Start National Resource Center that offer key messages and helpful resources for working with young children. The videos cover a variety of early childhood topics such as components of quality service, school readiness, expectant families, and language development.
