Reading 'Round the Clock
Reading can happen anytime, anywhere! And you and your children can explore the joy of reading together with this series of “Reading ‘Round the Clock” videos, with easy tips for working reading practice into everyday activities. Three videos: Reading on the Go, Reading for a Purpose, and Reading on the Screen, each show reading opportunities that fit into your family’s lifestyle, are fun to do, and help prepare your child for reading. A companion series of tip sheets for caregivers of children in prekindergarten through third grade is available for free download.
- Reading on the Go
This video introduces caregivers to the many ways they can help children with reading skills while on the go, such as spotting all the places where you see letters and words in a city block, at a store, or on the road. - Reading for a Purpose
Whether it be reading for fun or finding information, a wide range of activities can support reading skills - from working with word lists to pretending to be a favorite book character. - Reading on the Screen
It's true! You can help children with their reading skills while they use a handheld device, watch television, or sit in front of a computer. Talking with children about what they observe and experience on the screen leads to increased comprehension.
Literacy Training Videos from South Carolina
In 2010, the South Carolina State Library welcomed Public Library Association certified trainer and Early Literacy specialist Susan Bard to conduct a series of workshops for South Carolina’s children’s librarians, preschool teachers, childcare providers and those who work with young children. Here are short videos from those workshops, to share ideas for making the most out of storytime!
