Reading Ready Time is a virtual library ex perience specifically designed to help children 3-6 years old get ready to read and connect with the Library. Programs will be available for a limit ed time following the premiere on our YouTub e channel.

Join the Indianapolis Opera as they present their v ersion of the classic Three Little Pigs story. \; Retelling stories is a great way to help children build background knowledge and comprehension . \; After watching this video\, read another version and compare &nda sh\; what&rsquo\;s the same? \; What&rsquo\;s different? \; This k ind of analysis encourages deeper understanding and critical thinking.

Additional resources to enhance learning:

One great wa y to engage children in storytelling is to take a story they know well and change it just a little bit. \; Fairytales and folk tales are a perfe ct opportunity for this practice. \; Check out our blog post about Fracture d Fairytales for more suggestions.
Looking for some good fai rytales to incorporate into your repertoire? \; Check out this list from the Library. \; Don&rsquo\;t forget\, libraria ns are always available to pull together a teacher collection for you.&nbs p\; Just call your local branch.
Of course\, there are direction s for arts-related projects galore online\, but this pig&rsquo\;s nose woul d be a really silly and fun way to get kids retelling the story.
