Secretary of State Offers Summer Financial Literacy Program
Several books and activities were chosen that are associated with the program topics. The books and activities are found on the Book and Activity Bookmarks, which are available online. Indiana libraries may print and distribute the bookmarks and inform students about how they can use the Book and Activity Bookmarks to track the books and activities completed. To complete the program, students are required to read the assigned number of books and complete one craft for each topic. If these books are not available at your library, appropriate substitutions are acceptable based on your discretion. There are two levels of books available: Beginner/Moderate and Moderate/ Advanced. Please provide students with the appropriate bookmarks for their reading level. Several books are part of the Accelerated Reader (AR) program. Books marked with an asterisk on the bookmarks have AR points available. Students can refer to the Accelerated Reader website for point values. Upon completing all three topics, students are encouraged to submit information showing they completed the program. The students must submit their Participation Summary and photos or electronic documents of crafts and activities by August 1, 2014. Students who complete the reading program and activities will receive an Honorary Secretary of State certificate signed by Secretary Lawson and a piggy bank. By submitting the information, the student gives the Secretary of State’s office permission to post his or her photos online on our website and on social media pages. All submission documents can be submitted to Kelly Griese at kgriese@sos.in.gov. Any questions about the program may also be directed to Kelly.

Mother Goose on the Loose Coming to Indiana Dr. Betsy Diamant-Cohen is coming to Indiana to present her Mother Goose on the Loose training at four locations. The trainings will be worth 6 LEUs and include information about baby brain development and school readiness, as well as a hands-on Mother Goose on the Loose session to teach participants how to implement the Mother Goose on the Loose program at their libraries. Mother Goose on the Loose is the award-winning early-literacy program for children from birth to age 3 with their parents or caregivers and is an innovative program based on research which shows that children learn best through routine and repetition in a nurturing environment.
