Children’s librarians in South Carolina are likely familiar with Every Child Ready to Read, but not as well-versed with The Palmetto Basics, a growing movement in South Carolina. To work with childcare providers and other early literacy professionals in the state, librarians need to be aware of the common messages promoted by both movements, as well as how they differ. This training 1) provides an overview of Every Child Ready to Read & the Palmetto Basics 2) discusses the differences between the two 3) explores useful resources librarians can create for childcare providers to strengthen ECRR practices through the lens of The Palmetto Basics. This webinar will be repeated Tuesday May 18th. 

Presenter: Dr. Betsy Diamant-Cohen is a nationally-recognized author, speaker, and expert in the area of early childhood literacy. Her popular “Mother Goose on the Loose” program has garnered her a number of awards and honors, and she has presented and trained at library and early childhood conferences all across the country. We are excited to learn from her!
