Special Program Grants 2017-2018

Sui Chu                  Youth Services                Team Building
Through “Team Building” we will ​​provide​ ​high-impact​ ​learning,​ ​increase​ ​team​ ​and​ ​communication skills,​ ​and​ ​improve​ ​morale​ ​and​ ​productivity. ​Since​ ​this​ ​is​ ​a​ ​game,​ ​children​ ​will​ ​not​ ​feel​ ​any​ ​pressure.​ ​​ ​​ ​It helps​ ​building​ ​up​ ​kids'​ ​confidence,​ ​spirit​ ​of​ ​teamwork​ ​and​ ​cooperation​ ​through​ ​joyful​ ​activity.  The activity is designed to address needs of children who ​ ​spend​ ​too​ ​much​ ​time​ ​alone​ ​which ​causes​ ​their​ ​social​ ​skills​ ​to fall​ ​behind, who ​use​ ​most​ ​of​ ​their​ ​time​ ​with​ ​technology​ ​at​ ​study,​ ​homework​ ​and​ ​playing​ ​games and therefore ​lack​ ​skills​ ​at​ ​the​ ​person-to-person​ ​interaction and who are unable​ ​to get​ ​the​ ​meaning​ ​of​ ​other​ ​people's​ ​facial ​expressions.

Jenny Hulway        Special Education           Interactive Shared Reading
Parents​ ​and​ ​caregivers​ ​are​ ​the​ ​agents​ ​of​ ​change​ ​for​ ​their​ ​children.​ ​​ ​We​ ​will ​provide​ ​knowledge​ ​and​ ​training​ ​to​ ​help​ ​parents​ ​and​ ​children​ ​develop​ ​their​ ​best​ ​possible​ ​language, social,​ ​and​ ​literacy​ ​skills.​ ​​ ​Since​ ​early​ ​literacy​ ​skills​ ​predict​ ​literacy​ ​success​ ​and​ ​literacy​ ​is​ ​a​ ​key​ ​to academic​ ​success​ ​it​ ​is​ ​crucial​ ​to​ ​establish​ ​strong​ ​book​ ​sharing​ ​skills​ ​with​ ​families.​ ​​ ​We​ ​will​ ​encourage reading​ ​with​ ​children,​ ​not​ ​TO​ ​children.​ ​​ ​"It​ ​is​ ​the​ ​talk​ ​that​ ​surrounds​ ​the​ ​storybook​ ​reading​ ​that​ ​gives​ ​it power,​ ​helping​ ​children​ ​to​ ​bridge​ ​what​ ​is​ ​in​ ​the​ ​story​ ​and​ ​their​ ​own​ ​lives."​ ​(NAEYC​ ​&​ ​IRA,​ ​1998). Interactive​ ​book​ ​reading​ ​facilitates​ ​having​ ​an​ ​ongoing​ ​interaction​ ​as​ ​well​ ​as​ ​going​ ​deeper​ ​into​ ​the​ ​book which​ ​encourages​ ​children​ ​to​ ​contribute​ ​their​ ​thoughts​ ​and​ ​ideas​ ​throughout​ ​the​ ​reading. 
The​ ​bookmarks​ ​we​ ​print​ ​will​ ​summarize​ ​strategies​ ​we​ ​teach​ ​to​ ​families,​ ​caregivers,​ ​teachers,​ ​and​ ​other early​ ​interventionists,​ ​they​ ​will​ ​be​ ​physical​ ​reminders​ ​of​ ​strategies​ ​to​ ​use​ ​as​ ​adults​ ​use​ ​book​ ​reading​ ​a time​ ​for​ ​interaction​ ​and​ ​conversation.​ ​​ ​We​ ​will​ ​purchase​ ​books​ ​that​ ​are​ ​from​ ​Hanen's​ ​list​ ​'Making​ ​Book Reading​ ​a​ ​Time​ ​for​ ​Interaction​ ​and​ ​Conversation​ ​-​ ​Developmentally​ ​appropriate​ ​book​ ​list'​ ​(Hanen.org, and​ ​Hanen's​ ​Interactive​ ​Book​ ​Reading​ ​Webinar)​ will be ​use​d ​to​ ​teach​ ​interactive​ ​book​ ​reading​ ​at​ ​each​ ​child's level.
