This program helps provide parents and caregivers skills for reading out loud with their children. Previously, there was not an early childhood portion to this program. Dr. Ritzman and her students help fill this need. The graduate students chose children's books to create a lesson plan with and read the stories to caregivers and children. These books were then given to the children who have participated so families and caregivers can use them at home. The students came to the library and found areas throughout the facility to provide their lessons. On Saturdays, the numbers of children that arrive are unpredictable. Some students may interact with two children and some may get 20. The expectation is that students use their time in its entirety and provide these services to the community. | ||
