New library program helps get
children ‘Ready to Read’
Three generations of faith
Learning to read begins
before children start school.
Young children need to devel-
op important language and lit-
eracy skills before they can
actually learn to read.
The Siuslaw Public Library,
in partnership with Lane Early
Learning Alliance, United Way
of Lane County and with finan-
cial support from an Early
Literacy grant from the Oregon
Department of Education
through the Early Learning
Division and Early Learning
Council, is offering a free
childcare provider/preschool
teacher training on Saturday
Feb. 28, from 10 a.m. to noon
in the Bromley Room
The workshop will demon-
strate how caregivers can use
five familiar and easy-to-use
practices to develop language
and other early literacy skills in
children from birth to age five.
The Every Child Ready to
Read workshop explains why
the skills are so important,
demonstrates how to help chil-
dren learn the skills, provides
titles of high-interest books
that are age appropriate, and
sends participants home with
early literacy activities they
can incorporate into their work
setting.
Every Child Ready to Read
@ Your Library was developed
by the Association for Library
Service to Children (ALSC)
and the Public Library
Association (PLA), divisions
of the American Library
Association, in conjunction
with national reading and edu-
cation experts, and offers
research-based practices that
adults and children can enjoy
together while helping children
learn early literacy or pre-read-
ing skills.
The practices are talking,
singing, reading, writing, and
playing.
Certificates of attendance
are available at the workshop
through Family Connections of
Lane and Douglas County.
For more information about
the upcoming Every Child
Ready to Read workshop, as
well as other materials and
resources for parents and care-
givers, contact Youth Services
Librarian Gayle Waiss at 541-
997-3132.

On Ash Wednesday, Feb. 18, Nan looked on while Deacon Steve Avery (third from
left) and Mother Georgia DuBose of St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church distributed
ashes to a family of three generations of women from Malta, Mont. Mother
Georgia placed ashes on the head of grandmother Mavis while mother Kathy
wrote a prayer request, and daughter Clara stood by after having already received
ashes. It was an amazing chance to connect with some wonderful people on an
entirely different level than one normally does on Bay Street near Siuslaw Harbor
in Florence.
