Presenter: Penny Peck
Start Time: 2PM Central
- Do you feel like you always recommend the same old books when a child asks for a “good book to read?”
- Tired of recommending the same books because you can’t think of anything new to recommend to a child visiting the library?
- Looking for suggestion to augment the Common Core?
Discover
the new books that you can offer to children who use your library! Hear
about books published in Fall 2013 and Spring 2014 that will be popular
with children ages 0-12. These include board books, picture books, easy
readers, transitional fiction, genre fiction for middle grades, graphic
novels, poetry, nonfiction, and more!
At the end of this one-hour webinar, participants will:
- Know
about new children’s and tween books for various age ranges and reading
levels, including very simple new books for those just learning to read
- Learn about new multicultural books to meet the needs of all children
- Be
able to name some new books relating to the Common Core, including
informational picture books perfect for Preschool through grade 3
- Be able to identify “read-alikes” – other books you can recommend to children after you find out their favorite book
- Know
books that will grab the attention of reluctant readers, including the
newest graphic novels for kids, nonfiction, and pop culture titles, and a
list of very short novels for tweens
- Take
away a list of helpful websites to use when doing readers’ advisory,
and sites that will help you keep up-to-date on the latest children’s
books
This
webinar will be of interest to all library staff or volunteer who
serves children ages 0-12, in either public or school libraries.
