The Literacy Connection Board has arranged the following series of 4 webinars to continue our commitment to professional development. Our goal is to support our teaching and learning community with a variety of options even though we are not able to meet in person. Each webinar is scheduled for a Saturday morning from 10:00am-11:15am ET. Please be advised that the webinars that require payment will not be recorded so you need to view in real time. Our free webinar will be recorded and available after the event.

​The cost is $25 except for the book talk which we are happy to offer at no cost. Registration is necessary for each webinar. An email will be sent prior to the date with login information. You may use our convenient PayPal button for each webinar or send payment by snail mail. Please send an email to ktaps@icloud.com if you intend to pay by check, denoting which webinar you would like to attend so that I have your contact email. We are excited by the possibility that some participants may be from outside the central Ohio area.

UPDATE: Matt Glover has given permission for his webinar to be recorded. After the event, a link to the recording will be sent and you will have 30 days to view it.

The Literacy Connection Booklet:
Reading &Writing:
  Where It All Begins - Helping Your Children At Home

Picture
English Booklet
Picture
Spanish Booklet

A must have book for parents of young children including preschoolers and kindergartners. We need to help our potential elementary age children with the skills that lead to success as readers and writers. This booklet, published by The Literacy Connection in English and in Spanish, highlights many natural, everyday opportunities parents have to talk, tell stories, and share books with their children. These practices make a significant difference in learning to read and write.  

The booklet was written by Dr. Moira McKenzie, Dr. Martha King, Peggy Oxley, Lynda Mudre, Jean Sperling, Kathleen Taps, and Nancy Blume. The cost is $2.00 per copy and is available upon request. Please send an email to Kathleen Taps at ktaps@icloud.com. Shipping and handling costs will need to be determined.
