Let the reading celebration begin @ your library®!

April 30 marks a special day in the lives of children. April 30 is El día de los niños/El día de los libros or Children’s Day/Book Day, known as “Día.” It is a day to celebrate children and books! Día reflects a library’s commitment to include and celebrate a variety of cultures year-round. On April 30, around the country, an annual, special celebration of linking children to books, home languages and cultures is held at schools, libraries, museums, churches, parks, and bookstores. But Día also provides a wonderful opportunity for parents to promote the power of books and reading to their own children. Every day of the year can be “Día,” a day for linking all children and books!

By including books in the celebration, families can begin to develop new habits that will instill a love for books and reading in children. Reading daily to your child for at least twenty minutes can become a family tradition. Children will enjoy the experience and grow to love and appreciate books. You can also include food, music, crafts, dance, poetry and games as you nurture the love for books at the heart of the celebration.

Parents, Here are Some Helpful Hints…

• Begin reading together when your child is born. It’s never too early to read to your baby. When you hold your baby close and look at a book together, your baby will enjoy the snuggling and hearing your voice as well as the story. Feeling safe and secure with you while looking at a book builds your baby’s confidence and love of reading.

• Being a toddler is all about action. Everyday experiences are full of opportunities to engage in conversation, sing silly songs and develop language skills. Toddlers need to move, so don’t worry if they act out stories or just skip, romp, or tumble as you read to them. They may be moving, but they are listening.

• Read to your child every day. Make this a warm and loving time when the two of you can cuddle close. Build your child’s vocabulary by talking about interesting words and objects. Involve your child in the reading by asking him/her to point out objects, talk about the pictures, or repeat common words.

• Decide on a regular reading time each day, such as after meals or at bedtime. Choose a comfortable place to sit, such as a rocking chair, away from distractions. Read with expression; vary the pace of your reading. Reread your child’s favorite books whenever asked.

• Be a role model; let your child see you reading, whether it’s a book, newspaper or magazine. Tell stories about your family and culture. Write a family story book together.

¡Que comience la celebración de la lectura en tu biblioteca®!

El 30 de abril marca un día especial en las vidas de los niños. El 30 de abril es “El día de los niños/El día de los libros” o Children’s Day/Book Day, conocido como el “Día”. ¡Es un día para rendirles homenaje a los niños y a los libros! El “Día” es reflejo del compromiso de las bibliotecas para incluir y celebrar una amplia gama de culturas durante todo el año. El 30 de abril se realiza una celebración especial de vinculación de los niños con los libros, los idiomas y culturas originales, en escuelas, bibliotecas, museos, iglesias, parques y librerías de todo el país. Pero el “Día” también proporciona una maravillosa oportunidad para que los padres les den a conocer a sus propios hijos el poder de los libros y de la lectura. Cada día del año puede ser un “Día”, ¡un día para vincular a todos los niños con los libros!

Al incluir los libros en la celebración, las familias pueden comenzar a crear nuevos hábitos que inculquen en los niños el amor a los libros y a la lectura. Leerle diariamente a su niño por lo menos durante veinte minutos diariamente, puede convertirse en una tradición familiar. Los niños disfrutarán la experiencia y crecerán para amar y apreciar los libros. Usted también puede incorporar comidas, música, artesanía, bailes, poesía y juegos cuando fomente el amor a los libros como centro de la celebración.

Padres, aquí tienen algunos consejos útiles…

• Comiencen a leer juntos en cuanto nazca su hijo. Nunca es demasiado temprano para leerle a su bebé. Cuando lo cargue y miren juntos un libro, su bebé disfrutará estar cerca de usted y escuchar su voz, así como el cuento que le lee. Sentirse protegido y seguro con usted mientras mira un libro, crea en su hijo la confianza y el amor a la lectura.

• Ser parvulito equivale a estar activo en todo momento. Las experiencias cotidianas tienen abundantes oportunidades para iniciar una conversación, para cantar canciones divertidas y crear destrezas del lenguaje. Como los párvulos necesitan estar en movimiento, no se preocupe si el suyo representa cuentos o salta, retoza o da volteretas mientras usted lee. Aunque se mueva incesantemente, está escuchando.

• Léale a su hijo todos los días. Haga que la lectura se convierta en un momento cálido y de cariño en el que los dos puedan abrazarse. Construya el vocabulario de su hijo o hija hablándole acerca de palabras y objetos interesantes. Dele participación en la lectura pidiéndole que señale objetos, que hable acerca de las ilustraciones, o que repita palabras comunes.

• Establezca un horario regular de lectura diaria, como después de las comidas o a la hora de dormir. Escoja un sitio cómodo para sentarse, como una mecedora, en un sitio donde no haya nada que desvíe la atención. Lea con expresividad, cambie el ritmo de la lectura. Léale sus libros favoritos cada vez que se lo pida.

• Dé el ejemplo haciendo que el niño le vea leer, ya sea un libro, un periódico o una revista. Cuéntele historias de su familia y su cultura. Escriban juntos un libro de cuentos familiares.

Parents, Your Library is Your Partner…

Ask the children’s librarian for book, music and movie selections.

Visit the public library regularly, and often.

Register your child for a library card; it’s never too early.

Ask about scheduled story hours for babies, toddlers and preschoolers, after school programs, and summer reading programs. Many libraries offer bilingual story hours.

Borrow library materials to celebrate Día at home!

• Choose a craft book and make a Mexican paper flower from tissue paper or fold paper into origami cranes.

• Select an international cookbook for kids and make mouth-watering recipes from Brazil, India, Spain or Thailand with your child.

• Check out music from around the world and dance in the kitchen while playing instruments made from pots and pans.

• Read award-winning books written by authors about life in other countries or from cultures different from your own.

• Celebrate holidays like Chinese New Year’s, Thanksgiving, Day of the Dead or Kwanzaa. Talk about how these holidays are the same or different from those celebrated in your home.

Suggest ideas to your librarian for celebrating Día.

• Create bilingual book displays.

• Plan a family literacy fair at the library.

• Display posters and banners that celebrate other languages.

• Plan a book parade of titles from around the world.

• Host an international storytelling festival.

• Have an ethnic cooking demonstration.

• Invite multicultural performers and artists to present at the library.

Padres, la biblioteca es su mejor colaboradora

Pídale libros, música y selecciones de películas apropiadas al bibliotecario o bibliotecaria de la sección infantil.

Visite la biblioteca pública regularmente y con frecuencia.

Inscriba a su hijo para que tenga una tarjeta de biblioteca. Nunca es demasiado temprano para que la tenga.

Averigüe si hay horas del cuento programadas para bebés, parvulitos y en edad preescolar, así como después del horario escolar, y si hay programas de lectura en verano. Muchas bibliotecas ofrecen horas del cuento bilingües.

¡Solicite materiales de la biblioteca para celebrar el Día en casa!

• Escoja un libro de artes manuales y haga una flor mexicana de papel con papel de seda, o doble hojas de papel para hacer grullas de origami (arte japonés de doblado de papel).

• Seleccione un libro de cocina internacional para niños y cree sabrosas recetas de Brasil, India, España o Tailandia con su hijo.

• Solicite música de diferentes partes del mundo y baile en la cocina, mientras toca “instrumentos” hechos con sus propias cacerolas y utensilios para cocinar.

• Lea libros de escritores premiados acerca de la vida en otros países, o de culturas diferentes a la suya.

• Celebre festividades como el Año Nuevo Chino, el Día de Acción de Gracias, El Día de los Muertos o Kwanzaa. Hable con su hijo acerca de cómo estas festividades son similares o diferentes a las que ustedes celebran en casa.

Sugiérale ideas al personal de biblioteca para celebrar el día.

• Crear muestras de libros bilingües.

• Planificar una feria familiar de alfabetismo en la biblioteca.

• Mostrar carteles y banderines que le rindan homenaje a otros idiomas.

• Planificar un ‘desfile” con libros títulos de todo el mundo.

• Organizar un festival internacional de narración de cuentos.

• Organizar una demostración de comida típica.

• Invitar a artistas y animadores multiculturales para que hagan presentaciones en la biblioteca.
