Am I the only one who references Breakin’ 2<\/a> whenever confronted with the 2nd edition of something?<\/p>\n

I definitely acquired a copy of the 2nd edition of Every Child Ready to Read<\/a> a few months ago. And even though I have taken it out of its shrink wrap – and even assembled it! – I’d sort of put that big scary binder on the back burner until today. But now that I’ve attended Every Child Ready to Read in Action, I am much less afraid of the prospect of conducting an early literacy workshop of my very own.<\/p>\n

Top Five Things:<\/p>\n

1. All of the downloadable slides and notes for the ECRR workshops are editable.\u00a0 Which is great if you’re like me and like to inject your own style into things. (Though I would try to leave my movie quotes at home. I would try valiantly.)<\/p>\n

2. Workshops are flexible beasts. Adapt to your audience, your space, and your technology.<\/p>\n

3. When presenting the historically hard-to-remember 6 skills<\/a> (can you name them? I can’t) to her workshop participants, one presenter made them into a flannel board house, with each skill representing a piece of it. Cool, right?<\/p>\n

4. Having children write out their own name tags (even if their accompanying grown-up does some handy subtitle work) is a great way to incorporate one of the amazingly easy-to-remember 5 practices (Talk Sing Read Write Play! So much easier!) into your programming.<\/p>\n

5. The GeekDad books<\/a>. I never knew about these until today!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
