Book exploration is so important for our youngest learners! This workshop shares a selection of books especially designed for infants and toddlers and provides activity ideas that build on the early literacy concepts that can be found in each. Designed for those working with infants and toddlers, participants will leave the workshop with a variety of hands-on, interactive activities and book ideas that can be easily incorporated into programming.

Presenter: This workshop will be presented by Bookmates Facilitator, Nancy Tovell. Bookmates is anon-profit organization based in Winnipeg with over 37 years’ experience in supporting early learning educators. Bookmates stays current with emerging research and themes related to healthy child development and uses a literacy lens to share strategies, information, resources and practical experiences.
