Learn how to create reading kits for your library that help families practice reading at home.
Jenna's passion for teaching and working with children keeps her reaching for new ways to promote learning.
Jenna has an undergraduate degree in elementary education, a Master of Arts in Education as a Reading Specialist, and a Master of Library and Information Services. The thing that Jenna loves most about the library is creating community connections, whether at storytime or serving library customers.
Special thanks and credit go to the Denver Public Library for sharing resources and information, which was used to create reading kits for Siouxland Libraries.
Visit library.sd.gov for downloadables including a tip sheet, poster and a leveling rubric.
At Siouxland Libraries, Jenna would like to thank Stephanie Bents, Kiesha Dykstra, Elizabeth Berg, and Alysia Boysen for their role in creating the reading kit collection.
