Each year, the State of Kansas has a week dedicated to reading to preschoolers. A book is picked (by someone :), and libraries and different groups are encouraged to promote literacy using that book as a starting off point. Last year's book was Chicka, Chicka, Boom Boom, by Bill Martin Jr. We had fun with that one, even doing some great hands on activities that stayed up for a week or so.
This year's book was Lola Loves Stories, by Anna McQuinn
I went to our local Parents as Teachers playgroup on Wednesday morning of that week, and had a quick little story time/sharing of the book with those kids, and passed out flyers inviting them to our family story time each week.
Craft:
I purchased these simple little thin canvas bags from the dollar aisle in the craft section at Walmart, and had the kids decorate them. We used stick foam letters to put their names on their bags, but unfortunately they do not have PERMANENT adhesive on them, so I think the probably fell off everyone's bags! ugh! Oh well...it was a good thought!
The State of Kansas library system had a good website set up with activities for folks to use with this theme.
