: [YSCON] New StoryBlocks videos, summer reading parent survey

 

Hi all,

We just posted 6 new StoryBlocks videos here in CO, including videos in 3 new languages (Arabic, Vietnamese and French)! Check ‘em out: http://www.storyblocks.org/

 

Storyblocks is a collection of 52 short videos, produced in partnership with Rocky Mountain PBS, that demonstrate rhymes and songs appropriate for early childhood to parents, caregivers, librarians, and other ECE educators. Each video comes with ECRR-based early literacy tips. There are now videos in English, Spanish, Vietnamese, French and Arabic! Visitors can search the videos by age group (babies, toddlers, preschoolers), activity type (rhymes, songs), and language. If interested, please share these widely with library staff in your state, along with parents and other educators.

 

Thanks!

Beth
