A sweet story about friendship is now up at Kiwanis Park! We're hoping the rich fall colors in the book are reflected in real life sooner rather than later. Special thanks to our StoryWalk® sponsor, Kristy Emberton - Tierra Real Estate Services. We hope you enjoy strolling and reading "How to Find a Friend" by Maria Costa this month!

This project is made possible by a grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services (Grant #LS-252486-OLS-22) to the Texas State Library and Archives Commission under the provisions of the Library Services and Technology Act. (2023)

StoryWalks!

I have been more quiet than ever these days, but I have reasons; the biggest one being, I HAVE A STORYWALK!! Prepping frames in my library workroom. The short story: What’s a StoryWalk? Glad you asked! A StoryWalk is a great way to get families reading together while also getting some physical outdoor activity. Most use picture books, displayed spread by spread, along a route or path, with…

Story Walk Reflection

I noticed…

While I was doing my solo-story walk, I noticed that I was unfamiliar with my environment. I was so caught up in trying to locate the next page of on the story walk, that I didn’t pay much attention to the actual content. I was far more focussed on finding my way through the campus grounds.

When I did another group’s story walk, I noticed that I was able to get fully engaged in the content, because the group had laid out their story walk on a clear path. Because my attention wasn’t split between navigating and reading, I was able to enthusiastically engage with the content and participate in the actions prompted on the story walk.

I wonder…

I wonder if I would rely on story walks as a primary learning activity for building literacy skills / interest in language, or as a bonus, more fun kind of activity? Could a story walk be used for dramatic play? I do believe story walks are an effective tool to use with the children, blending reading/outdoors, new perspective on something they may have heard before.

It reminds me of…

The story walks reminded me of the value of the environment as a third teacher. It reminded me to trust that our environment is enriching, and that children will benefit from building their connection to nature. Some specific things to consider when doing a story walk with children are – the content (the book, its themes), the language (Is this book developmentally appropriate for the age group it is intended for? Is this book only available in English? Could we use a multilingual book to be more inclusive?), and the social pressure children may feel from their peers.

How do story walks support children’s connection to nature?

Story walks support children’s connection to nature by taking them out of the classroom and into their natural environment. Repeated exposure to the outdoors, even if it is the same place, will build a connection to nature. Repetition offers opportunities to see the same environment from a different perspective. Story walks support children’s connection to nature by engaging their senses and allowing free movement. Having a connection to your environment instills a sense of belonging in the child.

Hot girl walk September Day 12 was short because I'm not feeling great so here's one I took yesterday. The walking path I went to yesterday has this thing called a Story Walk and this is one of the pages of the book. This is an amusing page to read in the middle of September when it's 28 degrees Celsius, that's for sure. #hotgirlwalk #literally #september #books #storywalk https://www.instagram.com/p/Cia8fp6PhqW/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
