[Conntech] Mother Goose early literacy program training

[Susan Cormier]

The Connecticut State Library Division of Library Development presents a
NEW workshop:

Mother Goose Programs
Sally Andersen, executive director of Mother Goose Programs, will
present a day long overview of the early literacy leaning materials and
programs developed at the Vermont Center for the Book.  There are
resources for early literacy development (such as *Beginning with
Mother Goose or *Especially for Dads*), materials for care givers
(*Mother Goose cares about social studies* and a new math and
science program developed for use in public libraries (*What*s the
Big Idea?*).  There will be an overview of the materials,
demonstration and hands on with the materials and in depth discussion
about the research base and evaluation of these programs.
You can preview the kits and download free research articles at
