Something to keep in mind with Summer Reading as well as story time and lapsit programs are the Five Domains of Reading from the education community. These are Vocabulary, Phonemic Awareness, Phonics, Fluency and Comprehension. You can find a variety of materials online on these skills and ways to use them in your programming year round. Reading Rockets, a PBS and Dept. of Education site, has a great Reading 101: The Basics of Teaching Reading page that covers these five domains and more. That is at http://www.readingrockets.org/teaching/reading101. Take a look at these and the rest of the site for some background information on getting the most out of your programming time with children!

Animal Program Recomendation
by Laura Scott 18 Nov '15

18 Nov '15

Looking for a great program? Consider Joe Rogers' Wildlife Rescue Association. In response to popular demand, we have brought them in three times during the past five years to present rescued birds and animals and talk to kids about their needs. Joe and Barb Rogers take the birds throughout our large audiences (150 people+) so that all can get a close-up look. Their respect for and devotion to the birds is evident throughout their program. They incorporate a lot of biology into the presentation and we receive a such steady stream of gratitude from attendees (mainly ages 5-9 years) and their adults that we keep bringing them back. During their presentations here in July 2015 they brought a barred owl, an American kestrel, a peregrine falcon, red phase and grey phase screech owls, pigeons and a corn snake. They are willing to travel from mid-Michigan and have reasonable rates. We look forward to bringing them back in 2017. For more information: View their website: www.wildliferecovery.org<http://www.wildliferecovery.org/> Call: (989) 772-1538 Email: wildliferecovery531(a)yahoo.com<mailto:wildliferecovery531@yahoo.com> Feel free to email or call if you have questions.
