STORY TIME


Story Time Mission

Our mission is to promote early literacy, pre-reading, and pre-school readiness for children of all ages. We encourage grown ups to sit with their children, participating in the activities as able. Storytime is lots of fun and children actively learn by watching modeled behavior. So, jump in and have fun with us!

1000 BOOKS BEFORE KINDERGARTEN!

The single most important thing you can do to prepare your children to read is to read to them every day. Research proves that children need to hear 1000 books before they begin to learn to read independently. Reading to children will increase their vocabulary and their listening and narrative skills.
​Reading with children will also help to instill in them self-awareness, confidence and an understanding of their place in the world.

Silly animal story hour this morning was a blast. Miss Janice read some super silly books and played a new game with everyone called Duck Duck Moose. Then everyone got their color matching game with animal pieces to take home! #maryebartlettlibrary #meblibnh #meblibyouth #meblibnhphotogallery #brentwoodlibrarynh #brentwoodnh #storytime #storyhour #morethanjustbooks #funtimes

Literacy Tip:

Check for comprehension by asking questions about what your child sees and hears in the story.  Asking the questions in the same tone as you are reading makes this less like a lesson, and just plain fun!  An example is: "Oh, my!  What is going on here?" "Does that cow look happy?" If your child's answer makes sense, even it if is a different interpretation than yours, accept it and move on.  If you are unsure, ask follow up questions like, "Why do you think he looks happy?" You just might end up seeing something you missed.  Resist the urge to correct the answer unless it is clearly wrong and then only do so playfully, like "Hmmmm...that's an interesting way to look at it.  I thought he looked sad because he has tears in his eyes."

Games and Fun

Download the file below, print it in color (on heavy paper or cardstock, if possible, for durability), and laminate if desired.  After cutting apart the animal and food images, have your child match them to the correct color on the color board.

2) Click on the link below to watch a YouTube video demonstrating a group of children playing the traditional game of "duck, duck, goose."  Simply change the word "goose" to "moose" to extend the fun from the book.!

    Hello Song
    Hello neighbor, how are you today?
    It's going to be a beautiful day!
    So clap your hands,
    and stomp your feet, 
    jump up and down,
    and have a seat!
    Goodbye Song
    This is how we say goodbye, say goodbye, say goodbye,
    This is how we say goodbye ... at storytime!
    We give our friends a great big wave, great big wave, great big wave, 
    We give our friends a great big wave, when we say goodbye!
