| Every Child Ready to Read 2nd Edition |
|
In 2011 the Public Library Association updated the Every Child Ready to Read @ your library curriculum. The research and information the curriculum is based on did not change from the first edition to the second edition. Therefore Healthy Start family support workers and children's librarians may continue to use the materials they were trained in and received when they participated in RFHF.
However, the way in which the information is presented has changed dramatically. Instead of focusing on teaching parents the six skills their children need to develop before they start kindergarten, the second edition focuses on teaching parents activities they can do with their children to help them develop the six skills and get them ready to learn to read.
Every Child Ready to Read @ your library 2nd Edition is designed to be a turn-key curriculum that does not require additional training. Some materials from the 2nd Edition are freely available online. Libraries that participated in RFHF will receive one 2nd Edition kit in Fall 2011, paid for by the State Library with Library Services and Technology Act funds. The 2nd Edition kit will be available to check out from the State Library in Fall 2011.

|
View and print point-of-contact activities for parents to use with their children. These are available in English and Spanish.
Washington Learning Systems, LLC is a small company working to create big changes in the lives of young children. Their evidence based programs promote early literacy, language, cognitive, and social development.
They have made available free reproducible language and early literacy activities that were developed by Angela Notari-Syverson, Ph.D. and Kristin Rytter, Ph.D, with Judy Challoner, Faith Haertig Sadler, Young Sook Lim, Ph.D., Marilyn Sturm, and Rodd Hedlund (2005). The development of these materials was supported by Grant H324M020084 from the U.S. Department of Education, Office of Special Education Programs. Dr. Notari-Syverson and colleagues allow the materials to be reproduced and distributed as long as the materials are not sold.
The materials are specifically designed to address the three key skills of 1) language development, 2) phonological awareness, and 3) general print awareness.
These materials include home and community activities for adults and children that encourage early language and literacy development in young children. They are appropriate for children with disabilities as well as children who are developing typically.
Each of the activities includes three pages: 1) An activity description, 2) Hints for making the activity fun and developmentally appropriate, and 3) A brief self-evaluation form that cues parents and other caregivers to notice their children’s skills, and also cues adults to examine and grow their own interactions with children.
