Students will gain early literacy skills, feel more comfortable with the alphabet letters and accompanying sounds, learn to finger spell the alphabet, and count up to 25. There are so many fun ways to approach learning at this age. 

I have an M.S. in Library and Information Science. I have been a youth services librarian for much of the past 23 years. When I wasn't an active librarian, I was teaching children's literature, young adult literature, and story telling to future librarians. When my own son was young, I worked for four years at his Montessori school (tuition costs were no joke), and I have integrated some of their base methodology as well. 

I have access to an incredible collection of picture books, many of which I've selected and purchased from my book budget, at my library. I lead three weekly story times, and they are a celebration of community, the library, and whatever theme I've chosen for the week. One in particular is specifically a Pre-K themed story time, with the same alphabet letter per session approach. 

I review 12 books a month for a professional library journal, I present at conferences, and I offer parenting workshops at my library on reading with their children. I miss teaching a great deal, and I know this will help fill that gap and also let me do what I love most: sharing the wonder and power of books, fun, and games as instructional tools. 

I offer a weekly sensory friendly story time, and I'm patient, flexible, and unfailingly kind. I will work with any parent to be sure all needs are met.
