Description : UNO students from Dr. Ritzman’s graduate class, Language Disorders: Birth to Five learn about dialogic reading and family centered practice for early intervention. Students prepare a lesson to give to preschoolers at the Charles B. Washington branch library in North Omaha in collaboration with their Prime Time program. This program caters to under-served families aged 6-10 and helps low-income families connect through book reading. Students prepare this lesson in correspondence to a children’s book. Students choose this book and extra copies are given to the children and families. This is a 6 week project that occurs on Saturday mornings from 8:30-11:30. The students help to serve breakfast and then provide the instruction in the preschool classroom with their books and resources.
