Instilling a love of reading in a child pays dividends long after early literacy skills have been mastered. The key to successful programming is to make children become participants, encouraging a "literary ear" and love of the beauty of language itself. To help children develop artful language patterns, correct grammar, and a large and rich vocabulary, Wadham offers a range of complete programs for children ages 5-12 that introduce literature in a systematic way. Organized by age, each program: Begins with a list of suggested age-appropriate poems, ranging from choral poetry and nursery rhymes to short, humorous selections and longer narrative poems, all designed to be shared orally Includes read-alouds that encourage engagement, such as folklore, fairy tales, mythology, and fables Suggests an activity directly based on each read-aloud, with handy information about target audience and size, program length, setup time, and materials and supplies needed Comes with a planning calendar showing the length of time necessary to complete the program Features a booklist of additional titles that can be used to create even more programs A fun way to transmit cultural literacy while helping to create a love of poetry, the rhythm of language, and verbal skills, Wadham's programs help children's librarians, school librarians, and storytime leaders encourage all children to be lifelong readers.

Merm was the childhood cat of author/illustrator, Chelsea Pohl. Mermshry Rhymes is the second book in a series of children's books written in honor of Merm. Each page offers the original Nursery Rhyme, the "Mermshry Rhyme," and a brief history of the origins of the Nursery Rhyme. From the author: "Mermshry Rhymes arose from an evening of silly banter between my mom and me. During my childhood, much of my energy was spent adoring, smothering, and pestering Merm. Silly banter continues to be a common occurance when I am around my mom, sister, daughters, and our current pets. I have noticed that other pet lovers have a similar expression of love for their pets. I loved Merm dearly, and in his memory, I have become inspired to create a series of children's books. I hope you'll laugh at this silly twist on traditional Nursery Rhymes."
