Reading Corner (RC)Promoting Early Literacy and Learning: New materials for parents and caregiversRecognizing ISSA's experience in providing stimulating materials and activities for children in the early years, IBM has contracted ISSA to develop and deliver materials for their employees in Belgium, Czech Republic, Slovakia, and United Kingdom. Thee different kits were developed, each containing four children books from the ISSA Reading Corner series, accompanied by an activity book, “Opening Magic Doors. Reading and Learning with Children.” The activity books include ideas for activities to support the development, curiosity, and learning of children of different ages (2-3, 4-5 and 6-7), with appropriate activities for each particular age level, along with guidelines about what parents or caregivers can do with their children around the themes presented in the books. These activity kits as well as the Reading Corner books in multiple languages are available through the ISSA office. Reading Corner books are also available at www.amazon.com.
