Early Literacy Notecards
Our four notecard illustrations depict well-known nursery rhymes. Research demonstrates that these simple rhymes provide a great introduction to the sounds of baby's first language.
The back of each notecard features three adorable babies who enjoy time with their parents and books.
Some programs use the notecards to write congratulatory notes to families with new babies, introducing new moms and dads to local programming or resources. Other advocates use the cards for
personal correspondence to show support of early literacy activities.
$7.00 per 8-pack (w/envelopes)

Photo-casting call:
Families with 0-3 yr-olds to model reading aloud for our new Somali Family Reader...
TWB is completing our Somali Family Reader over the summer here in Minneapolis. Please contact us if you know of a young family that would like to model reading aloud for that book. Any family members can participate: moms, dads*, grandparents, sisters, sisters, aunts, or uncles with their 0-3 year-olds.
*TWB loves to have dads show off their read-aloud technique.
Photo shoots are ~20 minutes, and can be held at a nearby library, school, park, home, etc. While we welcome Somali-American families, our goal is to show all families reading to young children. So, any family is welcome and invited to participate in the fun!!
The photo session is enjoyable and casual -- plus, you'll receive your own copy of the
finished board book at TWB's Publishing Party for all participants. It's a fun way for your family to make a positive difference (and become very
famous)!
Please call Cheryl (612-990-6011) for more information.
My group is considering custom Baby Readers as a part of a new initiative...
While your organization is in the planning stages, we can work with you to create a mock-up custom cover. You'll have a draft custom version so colleagues have something tangible to consider during your presentation. Contact Cheryl for more information: 612-990-6011.
Preparing for an Early Learning committee meeting?
We can send you sample copies of our Baby and/or Toddler Readers. As you discuss your community's first outreach to new parents, colleagues may review the nursery
rhymes, photos and Parent Notes.
