Objectives for Today’s Session
• Main goal: Present the planning and evaluation tools we have developed.
• Provide us with your ideas around using our tool in storytimes.

Question:
• How can we know whether the early literacy focus of storytimes makes a difference for children’s learning to read successfully?
VIEWS2 Goals
• Conduct innovative research in library literacy programs for young children that provides valid and reliable evidence for practice. • EL-Capstone
• BCPAF
• PET
• ELSA
• Provide evidence-based methods for planning and evaluating the outcomes of library early literacy programs that better prepare children to learn to read.

Tools: BCPAF* and PET
*Developed by Dr. Erika Feldman, Ph.D.
36 months to 60 months Reading Goal 67: Children demonstrate awareness of the alphabetic principle Librarian Children
Points out shapes with specific letters Associates the names of letters with their shapes
Prompts children to match letters and sounds
Correctly identifies ten or more letters of alphabet
Prompts children to think about how letters and numbers are different
Design of Study
• Training was focused on research-based on early learning principles • Alphabetic knowledge
• Phonological awareness
• Interactivity
Year 1 Study Results
• Storytimes ARE making a difference!
• BCPAF and PET CAN BE used to observe storytime programs and the response the children had to the program.

Year 2 Study Results
• When comparing the observations from Year 1 and Year 2 for the control group we found NO statistically significant changes in the librarians’ programs (PET) or the children’s behaviors (BCPAF).
AND
• When comparing the observations from Year 1 and Year 2 for the experimental group we found there WERE several statistically significant changes in both the librarians’ programs (PET) and the children’s behaviors (BCPAF).
Bottom Line
Purposeful focus on early literacy principles makes a difference in programs and in children’s early
literacy behaviors.
BCPAF/PET and ECRR 1&2
Where do these tools fit with ECRR 1 and ECRR 2?

Planning
Birth to 18 months
Children Librarian
Shows beginning sound awareness by reacting differentially to different sounds
Exposes children to and exaggerates different phonological sounds
Imitates vocalizations and sounds
Plays with different early sounds the children start with (e.g., ma, pa, ba)
18 – 36 months Children Librarian Recites phrases from familiar rhyme
Provides children with age-appropriate rhymes
Completes a familiar rhyme by providing the last word
Uses reading style (e.g., pauses before the end of familiar rhymes or games where children can say the last word of the rhyme
36 – 60 months Children Librarian
Participates in and creates songs, rhymes, and games that play with sounds of language
Provides activities such as sing-alongs, rhyming, or other word-play games
Identifies initial sound of words, with assistance, (e.g., book begins with the “b” sound)
Reinforces recognition of word beginning sounds
