[LM_NET] TARGET: Creating a "Reading with your child" program

["Steward, Amy" <StewardA@FULTON.K12.GA.US>]

Fellow librarians,

 

I am considering volunteering to create and teach some sort of basic "reading with 
your child" class for a pregnancy help center in my area.  Many unwed, low 
socio-economic mothers with little education attend classes there to receive free 
diapers and other supplies for their babies and toddlers.   Current classes they 
attend might be on nutrition or positive discipline.  I thought a class to help 
these women learn how to interact with their children while reading (basic 
questioning techniques and highlighting the importance of reading) would be a good 
idea for a class.  If any of you have any suggestions about where to start, I would 
love to hear them.  Mothers would only have to attend the course once, so I 
wouldn't have a lot of time to teach, possibly an hour.

 

I will post a HIT if there are enough responses.

 

Thanks in advance,
