How goes RTRM?
by Lancaster, Catherine (MDE) 09 Mar '18

09 Mar '18

Just checking in, hoping all is going well for March is Reading Month! A reminder to keep track of your programming numbers around I Got the Rhythm, as well as your outreach. Details and a link to the survey are in the message below. A reminder that this year's programming guide<http://www.michigan.gov/documents/libraryofmichigan/LM_2018-RTRM-Programmin…> is specifically designed around the ECRR 5 practices and laid out for storytimes. There is still some confusion around whether this is school-aged or not; it is aimed at ages 0-5 and their caregivers. For details go to: www.mi.gov/readytoread<http://www.mi.gov/readytoread>. If your library needs additional copies of the book for outreach, please contact me directly off-list. If an educator or school contacts you requesting a kit there is a link provided on the website<http://www.michigan.gov/libraryofmichigan/0,2351,7-160-18668_83061---,00.ht…> to a form for them to complete. Thank you, Cathy Lancaster Youth Services Coordinator Library of Michigan 702 W. Kalamazoo St. Lansing, MI 48915 LancasterC5(a)michigan.gov<mailto:LancasterC5@michigan.gov> | 517-335-8129 | www.mi.gov/libraryofmichigan<http://www.mi.gov/libraryofmichigan> Follow us: Facebook<https://www.facebook.com/libraryofmichigan/> | Twitter<https://twitter.com/libraryofmich> | Instagram<https://www.instagram.com/libraryofmichigan/> [cid:image001.png@01D169A3.73327F50] From: michlib-l-bounces(a)mcls.org [mailto:michlib-l-bounces@mcls.org] On Behalf Of Lancaster, Catherine (MDE) via Michlib-l Sent: Wednesday, February 14, 2018 11:57 AM To: michlib-l(a)mcls.org Subject: [Michlib-l] Ready to Read Michigan books The Library of Michigan's Ready to Read Michigan<http://www.michigan.gov/libraryofmichigan/0,2351,7-160-18668_83061---,00.ht…> (RTRM) program, part of "March is Reading Month" programming at public libraries, gives libraries the tools to conduct outreach and promote the importance of reading aloud to young children throughout the state. Designed for public library use in storytimes and for outreach to further develop early literacy skills in the young child, RTRM is meant to model to parents and caregivers the five practices of early literacy from the Public Library Association's Every Child Ready to Read (ECRR) initiative: talk, read, play, sing, write. This program is made possible by grant funds from the U.S. Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) administered by the State of Michigan through the Library of Michigan, and supported by the Consumers Energy Foundation and Library of Michigan Foundation. As your library reaches out to area early childhood centers, Great Starts, Head Starts, young 5's, etc., for "March is Reading Month," please remember that your location received those extra I Got the Rhythm Books to hand-out to your community and the programming guide<http://w3.michigan.gov/documents/libraryofmichigan/LM_2018-RTRM-Programming…> is to help you model ECRR practices to caregivers and families. In April we are asking you complete this survey<https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/2018RTRM> on how you used the books in your library community. Questions listed in the survey include number of in-house programs around Ready to Read Michigan, outreach events/readings you offered for RTRM, how many attendees total for RTRM events, and the percentage of young children (ages 0-5) attended. Please keep track of those to help provide the Library of Michigan feedback. The survey also asks for additional feed back on the program as a whole, as we look towards shaping this new RTRM program for 2019, and for any quotes or stories you hear at the library regarding the program. Have a great "March is Reading Month" with Ready to Read Michigan!!! Cathy Lancaster Youth Services Coordinator Library of Michigan 702 W.
