<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";
color:#1F497D'>We at Columbia County healthy start have thought of a couple
ways to form partnerships. I also teach parenting classes for Child and Family
Development (birth to three) and I do a teen parent class at our local high
school. We partnered with St. Helens City library (thanks Margaret!) to put on
a “field trip” for my teen mom group, who came to the library and got a RFHF
lesson on overview and I Love Books, plus a storytime by library staff and the
opportunity to get library cards. This was pretty successful for us and came
together well.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";
color:#1F497D'>Our Healthy Start program plans to do our next quarterly group
meeting at the library, where we’ll share another module, hopefully with the
help of the library staff (Hey, Margaret!) and again provide that opportunity
to get library cards. We’re planning on using transportation vouchers to
eliminate the major barrier our families have to visiting the library.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";
color:#1F497D'>As many of my families are in the Rainier and Clatskanie areas
where we do not have an official library partner, I plan to offer an “offsite
home visit” and meet individual families at the library, using a tour and
obtaining a library card as a teaching opportunity, combined with a home
education module to cover a full topic.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>Looking for ideas to sustain early literacy
activities and partnerships? Here are some things that RFHF participants
are doing:<br>
<br>
Washington County Cooperative Library Services worked with Healthy Start to
identify all the titles recommended in the Parents As Teachers curriculum,
purchase the titles, and create desposit collections for Healthy Start family
support workers to use with their families. Think this is a great idea?
Call your library or your Healthy Start and start planning! If you can't
remember how to contact each other, just ask me! <br>
<br>
Remember, there are resources for getting inexpensive books on the RFHF
website: http://www.oregon.gov/OSL/LD/youthsvcs/rfhf.deal.on.kids.books.shtml.
And you may want to look at some fund development resources at:
http://www.oregon.gov/OSL/LD/youthsvcs/earlylit/funding/.<br>
<br>
Scappoose Public Library talked with local agencies about early literacy and
Every Child Ready to Read classes for parents at the library. The
following agencies agreed to promote the classes to the parents they work with:
County Corrections Probation Officers, County Mental Health, DHS Self
Sufficiency and Public Health Department. If you aren't sure how to get
the word out about your parent education sessions to families in your community
you may want to try working with local agencies like these.<br>
<br>
If you have good ideas too please share them with us! All you have to do
is hit "reply all" to this email and you're set to go.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Katie<br>
