ncompass live: every child ready to read @ your library
DESCRIPTION
Every Child Ready to Read® @ your library® (ECRR) is a parent education initiative. It stresses that early literacy begins with the primary adults in a child's life. The 2nd Edition of Every Child Ready to Read® @ your library®, released in 2011, builds on the 1st Edition, first introduced in 2004. The 2nd Edition incorporates recommendations that evolved out of an in-depth evaluation of the original initiative and an extensive literature review. Jessica Chamberlain, director of the Northeast Library System, will review the program, highlight the changes that were made in the 2nd Edition, and explain how you can incorporate early literacy education into your library's existing programs.NCompass Live - September 7, 2011.TRANSCRIPT

In 2000, the Association for Library Service to Children and the Public Library Association responded to
research studies that found a significant percentage of children were entering kindergarten without the early literacy
skills needed to learn to read.

Teaching parents and other caregivers how to support the early
literacy development of their children was the basis for the first editionof Every Child Ready to Read®
@ your library®.
ECRR 1st Edition focused on six
early literacy skills.

In 2008, a joint ALSC/PLA Task Force was created to evaluate the first edition of ECRR. In 2009, Dr. Susan B.
Neuman and Dr. Donna Celano were commissioned to conduct the evaluation
and make recommendations.

Let’s examine what the research says.
Children develop early literacy skills beginning at
birth.
Children start to develop early literacy skills beginning at birth.
Children who begin school with well-developed early literacy skills have greater success learning to read and generally have greater success throughout their school years.
The most important skills children need to develop are decoding and comprehension skills.

Public libraries are wonderful places to help children learn
both key literacy skills:
• Decoding (Constrained)• Comprehension (Unconstrained)
Every Child Ready to Read® 2nd Edition provides a framework to teach parents and caregivers how to help children develop these skills.
Libraries provide important resources parents and caregivers can use to help children get ready to read.
Public libraries have a long tradition of helping
children get ready to read.

Singing:• Develops listening skills.• Slows down language so children can
hear the different sounds in words, a key decoding skill.
• Helps children learn new words and information.
