Toddler Storytime: People in the Community

This is a storytime I did in October. I am behind in posting my visuals and storytimes, so I am trying to play catch-up as I continue to post on what I am currently doing in storytime.


Early Literacy Tip: Reading non-fiction books is a great way to build vocabulary, share information and increase your child's understanding of the world.

Books
