Event Description
Phonics. Vocabulary. Comprehension. These are just a few of the components of the science of reading. It’s not a curriculum or a special program schools are using to better align with Ohio’s plan to raise literacy achievement; it’s all the research behind the best ways we learn to read. And libraries have been using this information since the early 2000s through the six early literacy skills and the Every Child Ready to Read program. In this webinar, we will focus on what the science of reading actually tells us about how children learn to read, Ohio’s plan, and what it all means for libraries. Past attendance or background knowledge of the Every Child Ready to Read program is encouraged, but not required.
Learning Objectives:
Julia Shaheen is the Literacy Manager at Stark Library where she oversees a staff of five who work with the SPARK program in Stark County. Through this program, her staff visit homes of preschoolers to provide early intervention and help prepare the preschoolers and their parents or caregivers for Kindergarten. She also oversees the literacy efforts of Stark Library by providing staff training, parent workshops, and professional development for educators. She has also provided Every Child Ready to Read training to librarians in Northeast Ohio through the Early Literacy 101 workshops. Previously, she has worked as a teen programmer and provided baby storytime for two years in the Youth Services department at Main library. She holds a Master of Arts degree from Walsh University in Education.
Learning Objectives:
- Understand what the science of reading is and what it tells us about how children learn to read
- Understand Ohio's plan to raise literacy achievement
- Discuss how libraries can support students, families, and schools through collection development and programming
