Have you noticed the black bags with blue or green labels at
your local St. Louis County Library branch? Those bags are part of an awesome
program called FLIP
(Family Literacy Involvement Program). FLIP was developed by the Houston
Children’s Museum in partnership with the Houston Public Library. SLCL received
a grant to create a limited number of kits for six branches in 2011. The kits
proved to be so popular we had to create more! Now FLIP kits are in all 20 SLCL
branches.
FLIP kits contain everything needed for parent and child to
have a great shared literacy experience. Each kit contains a book, activity
sheet and supplies.
Ages: Grades K-1
This kit contains the awesome book “Click Clack Moo Cows that Type” by Doreen Cronin. The cows are on strike and Duck acts as the
negotiator between them and Farmer Brown. After reading the book with your
child, use the activity sheet to get extension ideas. The kit also contains stationery
and writing tools so that you and your child can write your own notes.
