[Notes and Responses 11-28-12: I have no idea where everybody was today - only 9 people showed up at storytime. We didn't read Minerva Louise b/c it was awfully Christmasy for 50 degrees. Also suddenly realized that my early literacy aside was for phonological awareness, not narrative skills.]

Our early literacy skill was: Narrative skills; expressive language, including being able to describe things, tell events in order, and to retell stories.
You can practice this skill at home by telling stories! Do you have a favorite holiday story, perhaps a family story or a picture book? Tell your kids stories while driving in the car, getting ready for bed, or walking together and then encourage them to tell the stories back to you.
