Stanford University researchers found children whose parents received early literacy tips via text did better on literacy tests than children whose parents didn’t receive the texts. Over 75 percent of Americans own cellphones, and text messaging is most common among younger, non-white populations. An impressive 98 percent of text messages are opened. Parents often are simply unaware of the small, every day things they can do to teach their children information literacy skills. When doing any type of children's program, I try to include a few quick nuggets of wisdom for parents about an early literacy skill or strategy that will hopefully stick with them after storytime is over. This would be a way to do the same type of thing on a weekly basis while they are away from the library. A quick, weekly reminder to sing to their child during bath time or count peas on their plate will give them ideas they can implement immediately and with little effort. This is a program that would not require a library card and would reach people who may not regularly come into the library. The pilot program library could encourage people to sign up during programs both at the library and in the community. We could also provide handouts to local schools, daycare providers, and parenting organizations to spread the word.
