Using Books in Child Care to Connect with Military Children’s Lives

CE credit is not available for this webinar. 

Beyond school readiness benefits, reading with young children helps them expand their horizons, explore their feelings, conquer their fears, and connect with important adults in their lives.

This one hour web conference will explore:
• effective strategies for getting the most out of reading books in child care settings
• the role that books can play in supporting military children
• the newly developed, searchable Children’s Book Database from the eXtension Alliance for Better Child Care.
