Description
Let Mother Goose on the loose in your library and jump-start
children’s learning and brain development. Here
are activities that will build motor, music, social,
and pre-literacy skills in infants and toddlers. Mother
Goose on the Loose incorporates books, rhymes, fingerplays,
flannelboard stories, music, dance, and child-parent
interaction into dynamic programs that will bring whole
families into the library. Award-winning program creator
Betsy Diamant-Cohen offers this valuable manual that
helps librarians and educators create their own Mother
Goose on the Loose (MGOL) routines with ready-to-use
plans and materials.
The guide features ten MGOL programs—each one
with complete scripts and instructions! In addition,
you’ll find planning and scheduling sheets for
implementing the program and instructions for designing
your own original MGOL sessions. Chapters outline the
learning process for infants and toddlers, including
the importance of repetition, ritual, play, reading,
movement, and music; provide tips for communicating with
parents; and suggest ways to incorporate books, instruments,
and props. Diamant-Cohen includes suggestions for expanding
and evaluating the MGOL program and a list of FAQs (and
answers) for sharing with parents and administrators.
The companion CD-ROM features all of the rhymes and songs
as well as a complete Mother Goose on the Loose script.
