Abstract
The researchers propose to share first year results from VIEWS2, Valuable Initiatives in Early Learning that Work Successfully, a 3-year Institute for Museum and Library Service (IMLS) National Leadership Research Grant. Year 1 of VIEWS2, using a pre-post text experimental design was proposed to measure the early literacy outcomes for children birth to kindergarten who attend public library programs. Results stem from data collected by 20 iSchool student and faculty researchers in 40 libraries at 120 storytimes attended by 1440 children using researcher-developed tools designed to observe children’s behavior and adult program presentation. High positive correlation occurred between adult practices and developmentally appropriate children’s outcomes at the group level.
