Did you know that early math skills were among the strongest predictors of later school achievement? Or that success with early math is tied to better reading outcomes for children? If not, consider joining us as we unpack how your own programming efforts can help support young children’s development of early math skills. Through this webinar you will learn a variety of different early math competencies you can incorporate into your library programs for young children, explore interactive strategies to engage children and caregivers with these skills while fostering a growth mindset, and better understand how early math skills can support emergent literacy practices.   Presenters: Jacqueline “Jacquie” Kociubuk, MLIS/MEd, is a PhD student in the Information School at University of Wisconsin-Madison.  Kathleen Campana, PhD, is an Associate Professor at Kent State University.   Visit the YSS page on the WLA website to learn more.
