1. Introduction:Hello, welcome to lap-sit storytime. My name is Ms. Debbie and with me is Ms. Peggy. We are both so happy to see you are here today. We encourage you all to participate and to do the rhymes and songs with your children. You know your children best, so if they are not in the mood, don't force them, but do encourage them. Sometimes whey they see you joining in, they will too. We expect a fair amount of craziness during storytime, but that is okay. If your child becomes disruptive, please take him or her out of the program room, and join us again when your child has settle down. Don't feel bad, it is okay. Let's start with our opening song. 2. Opening Song It is Time to Say HelloLyrics:It is time to say hello to all my friends.It is time to say hello to all my friends.It is time to say hello.Give a smile, wink an eye.It is time to say hello to all my friends.

As your sing, talk, read, write, and play with your children every day, you can support your children's prereading (early literacy) skills even at this early age, in enjoyable ways. Help your child become comfortable with books starting now by letting them handle books. This helps children understand how books work. Knowing how to handle a book before starting school allows them to concentrate on learning how to ready. This is one aspect of the skill you can do to support it even with our youngest children. Let's now enjoy an action rhyme. (Ghoting and Martin-Diaz, 2013, pp. 99-100) 4. Action RhymePat-a-CakeHold your baby's hands while reciting the rhyme.Lyrics: Pat-a-cake, pat-a-cake, baker’s man, Bake me a cake as fast as you can. Pat it and roll it and mark it with a B, And put it in the oven for baby and me.(Childhood) 5. Book 📷📷 Toot Toot Beep Beep by Emma Garcia Credit: (Goodreads, n.d.) 6.

(rotate hands round and round) The wheels on the bus go round and round, All through the town!(childhood) 12. Early Literacy Aside: EmpowerAs you talk about the pictures in books with your children at home, it is helpful to take the time to show them the real item, if possible, s you point to the picture. This is a key part of print awareness-the picture is not the real item; it represents the real item. Later they will learn this with the text of words as well. I have a book cart of great books on our theme, Things that Move, that you and your child might enjoy together (Ghoting and Martin-Diaz, 2015, p. 104). 13. Closing Song It is Time to Say GoodbyeLyrics:It is time to say goodbye to all my friends.It is time to say goodbye to all my friends.It is time to say goodbye.Give a smile, wink an eye.It is time to say goodbye to all my friends.

Books will placed on the rug for those who would like to read to their children. References: Ghoting, S.N., & Martin-Diaz, P. (2013). Storytimes for everyone!. Chicago, IL: ALA Goodreads. (n.d.).
