The following new titles are available for interlibrary loan from the Oregon State Library. If you would like to request this or other materials from the Oregon State Library please use your library's established interlibrary loan process (e.g. OCLC or ALA request form).  Otherwise, send your full name, the name of your library, complete title information, shipping address, and a phone number to the document delivery department at library.request at state.or.us<mailto:library.request at state.or.us> or (fax) 503-588-7119. Items will be checked out to your library, not to you personally, for 4 weeks (print materials) or 2 weeks (videos). Materials will be delivered via mail or Orbis Cascade Alliance Courier, and you may return them the same way. Normally a single copy is purchased and is loaned on a first-come-first-serve basis. You may be put on a hold list for several weeks. Thank you for your patience.

Most library staff are able to use their library's interlibrary loan service to borrow professional development material. However, if you do not have access to these services or are not currently affiliated with a library, please contact me (katie.anderson at state.or.us<mailto:katie.anderson at state.or.us>) to discuss alternative options for borrowing the material.

Ghoting, S.N. & Klatt, K.F. (2014). STEP into Storytime: Using the StoryTime Effective Practice to Strengthen the Development of Newborns to Five-Year-Olds. Chicago, IL: ALA Editions. 978-0-8389-1222-5.

Story Time Effective Practice (STEP), developed by the authors, is an approach that articulates the link between child development theory and storytimes. This important resource shows how presenters can use STEP to craft a storytime that is effective for mixed-age groups and adheres to best practices for emotional, social, physical, and cognitive support. In this book, Ghoting and Klatt, both early literacy experts,

  *   Offer more than 30 complete ready-to-use storytimes appropriate for newborns to children age 5, along with extension activities
  *   Show how STEP relates to emotional, social, cognitive, and physical development
  *   Explain how storytime materials and activities directly connect to language and literacy development
  *   Include preparation, planning, and performance tips, plus guidance for interacting with parents and caregivers
  *   Provide lists of recommended additional resources, including organizations, websites, and sources for storytime time activity ideas
This book is a must-have guide for storytime presenters, preschool teachers, child care providers, and parents of young children.

Bailey, A.R. (2014). Building a Core Print Collection for Preschoolers. Chicago, IL: ALA Editions. 978-0-8389-1219-5.

Since children develop the critical language and early reading skills necessary to enter kindergarten between birth and age five, reading aloud is one of the most influential steps librarians, teachers, parents, and caregivers can take to foster preschoolers' literacy skills. Early exposure to books heavily influences vocabulary knowledge, which in turn improves later reading skills and helps foster lifelong literacy. Highlighting more than 300 birth-kindergarten titles, Bailey offers

  *   A hand-picked selection of quality books adeptly chosen to help develop crucial literacy skills such as expressive and receptive language, expanded vocabularies, narrative skills, print awareness, the ability to understand written language, awareness of story structure, alphabetic knowledge, and phonological sensitivity
  *   Thorough annotation of each title, including a full bibliographic record, a short summary, and journal reviews
  *   Chapters organized by type of book, from primary skills books, wordless picture books, and rhyming books to toy and movable books
  *   A list of additional resources helpful for building a core collection
Valuable for regular use by caregivers as well as for collection development, this book spotlights hundreds of titles that are engaging and fun for reader and preschooler alike.
