Abstract

Every Child Ready to Read and Supercharged Storytimes encouraged librarians to intentionally include literacy building activities with developmental tips for parents in their children’s programming. Yet the development of executive function skills is as important as having strong early literacy skills by kindergarten entrance; both are essential ingredients for school and life.
