Five Little Speckled Frogs
Five green and speckled frogs, sitting on a hollow log,
Eating some most delicious bugs.
YUM YUM! One jumped into the pool,
Where it was nice and cool, Now there are four green speckled frogs

New York State Early Learning Guidelines
Cognition and General Knowledge
A. Causation: Children demonstrate awareness of cause and effect
B. Critical and Analytic Thinking: compare, contrast, examine, evaluate experiences, tasks, and events
C. Critical & Analytic Thinking: use past knowledge to build new knowledge
D. Problem-Solving: find multiple solutions to questions, tasks, problems E. Representational Thought: use symbols to represent objects
G. Number and Number Sense Operations
H. Measurement: size, volume, height, weight, and length I. Properties of Ordering: identify and label shapes
J. Properties of Ordering: sort, classify, and organize objects
K. Scientific Thinking: collect information using observation & manipulation L. Scientific thinking: explore the natural world by manipulating objects, asking
questions, making predictions, developing generalizations
M. Scientific Knowledge: observe and describe characteristics of living things N. Scientific Knowledge: observe and describe characteristics of the earth
S. Ecology: demonstrate awareness of relationship between humans and environment

Three early learning asides
Early Learning Asides
The 3 E’s
• Explain
• Example
• Empower
Storytime Example: Catch Me If You Can
Storytime Welcome
Opening Song: Storytime Is Here
Early Learning Aside #1: Explain
Theme Talk
Book: Jump Frog Jump by Kalan
Action Stretch: Frogs
Factual Book: From Tadpole to Frog by
Zemlika
Action Song: Row Your Boat/Submarine
or Five Little Monkeys Sitting in a Tree
Story: Tortoise and the Hare
Early Learning Aside #2—Example
Action Rhyme: There Was a Little Turtle
Book: Where’s Spot? by Hill or
Wolf’s Chicken Stew by Kasza
Activity: Catch the Bubbles
Closing Song: Storytime Is Over
Science Concept: Predicting
Explain Aside: Our young children are little
scientists; they are experimenting to learn about their world all the time. In today’s
storytime we’ll be looking at the science concept of prediction, which is an informed guess, foretelling
on the basis of experience or observation. Helping
children think about what might happen or what
might happen next is a skill they will use when they do science experiments.
Example Aside: Some stories provide an excellent opportunity to have children guess or predict what might happen next. Don’t worry if your child gives a
different response than the author’s. You can read on and see what the author said and comment on
the child’s response in a positive way. Helping children make predictions is one way to develop
their scientific thinking.
Empower Aside: I have some books on display here
that lend themselves well to predicting. These are stories that are cumulative tales where one thing
builds on another or something is repeated. However, don’t think that you need books to have
your child predict what might happen. There are many opportunities throughout the day, as you
cook, as you bathe your child, and as you play together. Here is a handout with some ideas.

Results and Lessons
• Provided opportunity for us to talk with
business owners about early literacy.
• Strengthened branch’s relationship
with business association.
• Gave businesses the opportunity to
participate with the library in a fun and
engaging project.
• Participation was lower than hoped for
• Asked them to go to too many stores
• Foot traffic is low in this area.
IMLS Sparks! Grant
• Pop-ups at community events
• Yard signs
• READY Walk
• Activities in area businesses
Every day, everywhere
