Hennepin County Library helps families meet the goal of school-readiness for all children. HCL storytimes incorporate all four indicators of progress: listening, speaking, emergent reading, and emergent writing listed in the Minnesota Early Learning Standards. [pdf, 7 MB].
Emergent reading and writing is what children know about reading and writing before they actually learn to read and write. See more information [pdf, 20 KB] showing how HCL storytime activities meet Minnesota Early Learning Standards.
