Supercharged Storytimes

Supercharged Storytimes is a transformative way to approach planning, executing, and reviewing storytime plans using scientific research and proven methods of success. Through an IMLS grant, the Washington State Library funded Project VIEWS2 to discover ways to tie library activities to educational results and brain development. Children’s librarians can make a difference in children’s lives, and the VIEWS2 research details these concepts.

Class participants will learn the Project VIEWS 2 framework and planning tools and will create a storytime plan using the framework that they can take back to their library. Open to anyone who works in children’s services and plans storytimes.

Workshop taught by Caitlin Augusta and taught with permission of the authors, Kathleen Campana, J. Elizabeth Mills, and Saroj Nadkarni Ghoting.

Objectives:

· To understand the research behind Project Views2 and its importance for library storytimes

· To learn the Project Views2 framework and planning tool and ways that it intersects Every Child Read to Read concepts

· To plan a storytime using the Views2 Planning Tool
