(11/1/07) Books on Tape project

Please do not reply to this email address.

Hello everyone!

During the first three weeks of November, Jumpstart will run its
annual Books on Tape project. Our goal is to record one book for each
child who is in the program. Many of our children do not come from
print-rich environments, and due to language barriers, some of their
parents might be not be able to read to them as often as they would
like. To support the children's development of language and literacy,
we would like to give them a book on tape for them to share with their
parents.

Jumpstart staff members will be tabling in Dewick Dining Hall on the
following dates:

Thursday, November 1st from 5:00-7:30pm
Wednesday, November 7th from 5:00-7:30pm
Thursday, November 15th from 5:00-7:30pm

During those times students can pick up books and tapes that they can
either record on their own, if they have a tape recorder, or record in
the Olin Language Lab. They can also return their recorded books/tape
during those same distribution times. Recording a book for a child
really takes less than 20 minutes. We are asking that you please
forward this email to your students so that they might be able to
participate in this project.

Please do not hesitate to reply to this email if you have any
questions or concerns.
