In all of our research with young children, we reveal over and over again the importance of positive interaction and sharing stories with young children. Our labs, and our student readers, in particular, were so excited last week to share in this with some of our most favorite community friends, partners and volunteers. Hosting the mini-marathon story time was a way for us to to just connect and share back what we are learning about everyday – that words and ideas and books help us all grow! Special thanks go out to Every Child a Reader, the sponsor organization, to our own SCU Library for helping us host, and for all the wide-eyed and well-behaved attendees that made sharing stories so fun. Let’s do it again next year!
