Learn the basics of planning and leading storytimes in this interactive workshop. Come prepared to sing and dance and be silly. Together we will learn to identify stages of child development and how to make storytime engaging for each age group. We'll discuss how to develop a storytime routine, including choosing appropriate books, incorporating literacy skills through play, and how to manage the adults and children in the crowd. We'll learn from each others' successes and mistakes as we encourage each other on our storytime journeys.
