The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) is now statutory in the UK
for children from birth to five years, and other countries are
experiencing similar developments; early years librarians,
teachers, nursery nurses, playgroup leaders and childminders all
require knowledge of how to promote and encourage communication,
language and literary skills. Parental reading with young children
is clearly vitally important, and libraries are uniquely placed to
support the development of literacy skills in pre-school children.
This book provides an understanding of how children develop such
skills through enjoyable and meaningful learning experiences, and
is a pioneering practical guide for library and information
professionals involved in planning and delivering services in early
years libraries. Drawing on the authors' underpinning contemporary
research and examples from current best practice, it will equip
practitioners with a broad range of knowledge and ideas. Key areas
covered include: - take them to the library: the role of the early
years professional - people and partnerships: working across
interdisciplinary boundaries, and how to involve parents and carers
- buildings, design and space: the children's libraries of the
future - resources for early years libraries: books, toys and other
delights - reaching your audience: the librarian's role - planning
and organizing: projects and reading sessions. User-friendly and
accessible, each chapter is clearly structured and sets outs the
key issues for practitioners, scenarios offering insights into
these, and practical ideas and resources for service provision. The
book also includes case studies of successful pre-school library
initiatives in a variety of global settings, useful information
about relevant organizations, and links to helpful websites.
Readership: This valuable text is essential reading for all library
and information professionals working with young children - whether
those with responsibility for the strategic planning of services,
or those involved in delivering them at community level. Essential
for students of library and information studies or childhood
studies, and practitioners undertaking NVQ qualifications, it also
provides a sound background in early years literacy and provision
for a range of local authority practitioners, such as nursery
teachers and Children's Centre managers.
