Programs - The First Teachers™ Program
 The First Teachers™ Program enhances both BMABHK Library programs by engaging and educating parents, childcare providers, and teachers on the critical importance of reading aloud and read aloud strategies. The curriculum is interactive and highly visual and uses "modeling the message" techniques to empower and educate parents with young children to become their child's "first teachers." The goals of the training are to help parents, childcare providers, and teachers overcome the barriers to reading aloud to children and motivate them to incorporate reading aloud into their daily ritual - supporting emergent literacy skills, school readiness and family bonding experiences.
Benefits of the First Teachers Program
- Inspires parents to read aloud to their children,
- Helps parents who are learning to read themselves, to improve their own language skills,
- Trains preschool teachers and other "first teachers" in the importance of reading aloud to the children in their care
