ECRR Concept of the Week 8-16-2007

Reading to a toddler can be a challenge. Sometimes, you have a very small window of opportunity before they decide they have had enough. But, there are ways to engage them when reading. Pick pictures out of the book and see if they can find a matching one in their real world. Small children definitely relate more to what is real to them. This little practice will be a fun and educational game that will build vocabulary. -Amy Dawson, Youth Services Librarian, Catawba County Library System.
