Research has shown that talking, singing, sharing books and playing are all important activities that can help children become successful readers. In particular, fingerplays and rhymes are wonderful literacy builders because they encourage all of these activities and feature words and concepts that lead to conversations. Above all, they are built around a love of books and play. For more information on helping kids get ready to read, please visit our early literacy information page.
WCCLS will be donating copies of Fingerplay Fun to every child enrolled with the Washington County Head Start and Washington County Healthy Start - Healthy Families programs. This project was made possible through the generous funding of the Oregon State Library’s Ready to Read program.
