B.O.O.K.S Family Literacy Model Training

Admin CALP Portal (CLN)

Location: Valleyview Municipal Library

Region(s): North, West Central, East Central

In B.O.O.K.S. programs, a facilitator works with a group of parents for eight weeks, modeling book-sharing strategies. Ideas and themes are discussed and extended by craft and drama activities. Parents also engage in informal writing, often writing a story for their children during the program. Parents borrow books to share at home with their preschool children.

The B.O.O.K.S. training will share examples of books that can be used, as well as suggested crafts and activities to pair with books. The training will also cover how the program is delivered and participants will be able to practice sharing a book in small groups. In addition, tips on good facilitating practices, areas such as multiculturalism, and how to choose good children’s books for preschoolers will be covered in the training.
