Storytime in a Bag: An Early Literacy Kit
Ideal for preschools, daycare centers, and homeschool groups, Storytime in a Bag is a book club for little ones. Each Storytime in a Bag kit includes 15 board book copies of a beloved children’s picture book, along with a copy for facilitators to read aloud, so each child has their own copy to hold and explore! Each kit comes with early literacy tips to get your group talking, singing, reading, writing, and playing -- the building blocks of early literacy that help get children ready to read! Kits can be reserved through the library catalog and shipped to a Buffalo & Erie County Public Library near you!
