March 6th Pre School Story Time

Story Time @ Keene Public Library

This week's book is:

The Old Steam Train by Heather Amery & Stephen Cartwright

The Boot Family helps the Old Steam Train and the Station to work again.

This book supports the reading skill: Print Awareness: "Children with print awareness understand that print has different functions depending on the context in which it appears – for example, menus list food choices, a book tells a story, a sign can announce a favorite restaurant or warn of danger. Print awareness is understanding that print is organized in a particular way – for example, knowing that print is read from left to right and top to bottom. It is knowing that words consist of letters and that spaces appear between words. Print awareness is a child's earliest introduction to literacy." http://www.readingrockets.org/teaching/reading101/printawareness
