The Columbus Metropolitan Library – Main Branch<\/a>\u00a0is now open to the public! We spent time in the new children’s section looking through the new collection. We chose a variety of books to add to our weekly library haul. Below I have shared some of the ways to search for books the next time you are at the library.<\/p>\n

“Reading makes all other learning possible. We have to get books into our children’s hands early and often.” – President Barack Obama<\/p><\/div>\n

Let your child take the lead by choosing books to add to your library haul.\u00a0When your child is given the opportunity to choose a book, she will be more motivated to read and attentive when being read to. These bookshelves found at the New Main library give even the smallest reader the opportunity to pick out books. The lower shelf was at the perfect level for baby girl to make a decision. The bins above\u00a0display the books in a stack with the covers facing out that invite the child to flip through easily to make a choice based on the cover, not the spine.<\/p>\n

Do not\u00a0be afraid to be silly when reading! Find a few books that incorporate silly sounds. Using sound effects (animals\/vehicles\/nonsense sounds) during story time will help increase and maintain your child\u2019s attention to the book. Give your child the opportunity to join in on the fun by imitating the sounds or waiting to see if your child will initiate a sound on her own. This tip is especially beneficial to a new talker. Nonsense sounds are often easier to produce and imitate than true words.<\/p>\n

Some of our favorite \u201cnoisy\u201d stories:<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re Going on a Bear Hunt\u201d by Michael Rosen<\/p>\n

\u201cBe Quiet, Mike!\u201d By Leslie Patricelli<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Book with No Pictures\u201d By B.J. Novack<\/p>\n

\"IMG_6264\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Pick out some books with repetitive text! We love the repetition of the text found in \u201cThe Napping House.\u201d We were excited to find Audrey Wood\u2019s newest story, \u201cThe Full Moon at the Napping House,\u201d during our last library visit. Reading stories with repetition help children understand language and how stories are put together. The language patterns in the story will give your child the chance to anticipate what will happen next and expose your child to the same words appearing over and over. When reading a repetitive\/predictable book, simply read through the story first to help the child become familiar with the text. After finishing the book, immediately re-read the story. When reading the story a second time, pause before the last word of the repeated phrase. For example in \u201cBrown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?\u201d say, \u201cBrown bear, brown bear, what do you\u2026,\u201d and then wait for the child to verbalize, \u201cSee.\u201d<\/p>\n

Some of our favorite repetitive books:<\/p>\n

\u201cBrown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?\u201d by Bill Martin Jr and Eric Carle<\/p>\n

\u201cChugga Chugga Choo Choo\u201d by Kevin Lewis<\/p>\n

\u201cDear Zoo\u201d by Rod Campbell<\/p>\n

Find a book with beautiful illustrations. How beautiful are these illustrations in \u201cBig Bear, Little Chair\u201d by Lizi Boyd?! Sometimes you will come across a book you love, but the text may seem to be too simple or too difficult for your child. Don\u2019t worry! Spend time \u201creading the pictures\u201d together. Point out objects and talk about what you see happening in the pictures. I have had so much fun taking over this account today.<\/p>\n

Some of our favorite illustrations:<\/p>\n

“Float” by Daniel Miyares<\/p>\n

“Where the Wild Things Are” by Maurice Sendak<\/p>\n

“Waiting for Wings” by Lois Ehlers<\/p>\n
