Minnesota Storytime is a collection of reading guides (available for free online) of Minnesota children's picture books (fiction, nonfiction, poetry, etc.) This program is a collaboration of the Minnesota Humanities Center and the Minnesota Library Association (Children & Young People's Section), and has been supported by Children's Literature Network. The reading guides have been developed for use by librarians, teachers, child care providers, parents, and anyone else interested in reading and related literacy activities for children and families. The guides contain many suggestions for sharing stories in a consistent easy-to-read format. Any book that is part of Minnesota Storytime that is available in other languages will also have reading guides in those languages. See the list of 67 books and the reading guides in alphabetical order or see the list of 67 books and the reading guides divided by suggested ages. |
