Sorry if I shared this before, but it fits the discussion of reaching out to find ways of offering storytime in other languages.<br>
<br>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt; color:blue">This story is from
<i>The Emporia Gazette</i> about staff from the Emporia Public Library working with staff and students from the Emporia Unified School District to offer bilingual storytime in English and Spanish.

<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="text-indent:-.25in"><span style="font-family:Symbol; color:blue"><span style="">·<span style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"">
</span></span></span><span style="color:blue">The school district’s migrant student & family resource specialist, approached her [public librarian] about the program.</span><span style="color:blue"></span></p>

<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="text-indent:-.25in"><span style="font-family:Symbol; color:blue"><span style="">·<span style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"">
</span></span></span><span style="color:blue">Each story time begins with a song, followed by a story, which is followed by an activity related to the story. Ibarra, a senior at Emporia High School, reads a page in English and Reyes translates the page into
Spanish. [I wonder if they ever choose any Spanish stories that are translated into English?]</span><span style="color:blue"></span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="text-indent:-.25in"><span style="font-family:Symbol; color:blue"><span style="">·<span style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"">
</span></span></span><span style="color:blue">The program’s primary goals are to invite Latino families into the library and to spark enthusiasm for reading.</span><span style="color:blue"></span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="text-indent:-.25in"><span style="font-family:Symbol; color:blue"><span style="">·<span style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"">
</span></span></span><span style="color:blue">“Many Latino parents are a little bit nervous about coming to the library,” Mendez said. “Almost all the books are in English. They might feel a bit intimidated.”</span><span style="font-family:Symbol; color:blue"><span style=""><br>
</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="text-indent:-.25in"><span style="font-family:Symbol; color:blue"><span style="">·<span style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"">
</span></span></span><span style="color:blue">This concern echoes a pattern that researchers have noted about educational facilities and Spanish-speaking students in general. John Schweiter, an associate professor of Spanish and linguistics at Wilfrid Laurier
University in Waterloo, Canada, reported that some Latino students avoid school libraries because there seem to be so few Spanish materials.</span><br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; color:black">What might this mean to libraries? The most important thing to remember is to keep storytimes fun! Young children learn best through interation and play, not
flash cards and worksheets. We should not “teach to the test”, we should continue to talk about all six early literacy skills and do all five early literacy practices. However when we are planning to talk about letter knowledge and phonological awarness, we
may try to be more intentional about how we do it and we may include a few more books and activities about numbers and simple math with preschoolers.</span></p>

<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="text-indent:-.25in"><span style="font-size:11.0pt; font-family:Symbol; color:black"><span style="">·<span style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"">
</span></span></span><span style="font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; color:black">For example, Crook County Library is using Ready to Read Grant funds to purchas metalic paint to create a letter magnet wall in their children’s room. This
will provide children opportunities to play with letters and adults to name them and talk about their shapes. What fun ways do you explore letter knowledge?</span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="text-indent:-.25in"><span style="font-size:11.0pt; font-family:Symbol; color:black"><span style="">·<span style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"">
</span></span></span><span style="font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; color:black">I don’t know about any real examples about including letters in phonological awareness activities, but perhaps when singing a nonsense rhyme like the name game
song (<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4s1safp44V4" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4s1safp44V4</a>) we could put up flannel letters of the kids names before we start. Does anyone else have fun ideas for showing preschoolers letters while
working on phonological awareness?</span></p>

</span></span></span><span style="font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; color:black">The Doorbell Rang by Pat Hutchins springs to my mind right away when I think about adding simple math to preschool storytimes! One could read the book and retell
the story with actual cookies</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt; font-family:Wingdings; color:black">J</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; color:black"> Any other ideas?</span></p>

</span></span></span><span style="font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; color:black">Include songs and activities in stortyimes that help kids develop self-regulation. For example, Washington County Cooperative Library System had a training
on this presented by Jim Gill (<a href="http://www.jimgill.com/" target="_blank">http://www.jimgill.com/</a>). While you may not be able to get trained, you can use Jim Gill’s CDs in storytimes to get started. Does anyone else have fun activities to help children
develop self-regulation skills?</span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="text-indent:-.25in"><span style="font-size:11.0pt; font-family:Symbol; color:black"><span style="">·<span style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"">
</span></span></span><span style="font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; color:black">Include activities in which children have the opportunity to interact with each other, with you, and with their adults. For example, many Oregon libraries now
have imaginative toys such as puppets and puppet stages in their children’s section that children can use any time. This provides children an opportunity to talk to each other about what story they are going to act out with the puppets and how they are going
to share or take turns through imaginative play. What are you doing to encourage the development of interpersonal skills?</span></p>

<h1>Governor Kitzhaber Releases Statewide Kindergarten Assessment Results</h1>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:center; line-height:110%" align="center"><em><span style="font-size:13.5pt; line-height:110%; font-family:"Georgia","serif"; color:black">Reinforces Need for Early Childhood Investment and Community Participation</span></em></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:110%"><span style="font-size:10.5pt; line-height:110%; font-family:"Georgia","serif"; color:black"><br>
<br>
<em><span style="font-family:"Georgia","serif"">(Salem, OR) — </span></em>Today, Governor Kitzhaber and the Oregon Department of Education released the results of Oregon’s statewide Kindergarten Assessment. The assessment was called for by Governor Kitzhaber
and passed by the Legislature in 2012, and is a key aspect of the Governor’s early childhood reform efforts. With over 95% of all entering kindergarteners participating in the assessment, the results provide an unprecedented and sobering look at the readiness
of Oregon’s youngest learners.<br>
<br>
“Today’s results validate our focus on reforming Oregon’s historically scattershot approach to early learning,” said Governor Kitzhaber. “This assessment will help drive our current early learning reforms and accountability for results, and should serve as
a challenge to all our communities to focus on kindergarten readiness with a true sense of urgency.”<br>
<br>
The assessment was designed to focus on the areas that are most strongly linked to 3<sup>rd</sup> grade reading, which is one of the strongest predictors of future academic success. These results will be used by schools, districts, early learning hubs, and
providers of early learning services to focus resources and proven programs on the areas of greatest need. Some results give a startling look at the state of early childhood development in Oregon. For instance, 33% of entering kindergarteners could name five
or fewer letters of the alphabet and 14% couldn’t name a single letter.<br>
<br>
“The Kindergarten Assessment information will provide us critical baseline data so that educators can ensure students are poised to read at grade level by 3<sup>rd</sup> grade,” said Chief Education Officer Nancy Golden. “We know that early education plays
a profound role in a student's trajectory, and the ability to provide concrete feedback to early education providers creates tremendous system alignment and focus towards the third grade reading benchmark.”<br>
<br>
By highlighting gaps in student knowledge and skill – and gaps between student subgroups and underserved communities – these results provide direction and urgency for early action. In addition, results provide a baseline for tracking trends over time, measuring
progress and increasing accountability.<br>
<br>
<strong><span style="font-family:"Georgia","serif"">The Results</span></strong><br>
The test was comprised of three main elements: two 60 second literacy measures, an early math measure, and a teacher observation component which assessed the student’s approaches to learning including interpersonal skills and self-regulation. <br>
<br>
<strong><span style="font-family:"Georgia","serif"">Early Literacy and Math</span></strong><br>
These measures were designed to assess some of the skills entering kindergarteners had in early literacy and math. Students build on these early skills as they start learning to read, write, and do simple math problems, and this early assessment provides teachers
and parents with information about students’ strengths and areas that could use additional focus and development.<br>
<br>
The early literacy measures were designed to assess fluency in the identification of letter names and letter sounds. Early letter fluency is a key contributor to later reading development and academic success. Students were shown a chart with 100 letters –
both lower case and upper case – and were asked to identify as many letter names as they could within 60 seconds. They were also shown a chart with 110 letters and letter combinations and were asked to produce as many letter sounds as they could within 60
seconds. The numbers below represent the average number of letter names and letter sounds students named correctly in the 60 second fluency assessments.<br>
<br>
For the early math assessment, students were posed 16 simple math questions that addressed addition, subtraction, patterns, and number recognition and were asked to point at the correct answer. The numbers below show the average number of questions a student
got correct. This assessment was not timed but generally took 5 to 9 minutes.<br>
