Description

This past year, the Military Child Education Coalition[TM] (MCEC[TM]), in partnership with ZERO TO THREE: National Center for Infants, Toddlers and Families, presented thirteen tell me a story for young children[TM] (tmas[TM]) events at military installations across the United States. tmas is an offshoot of the MCEC's Tell Me a Story[TM] (TMAS[TM]) program, which uses literature as a tool to strengthen connections between parents and children as well as to encourage skills for resilience and to foster a caring community. ZERO TO THREE selected the tmas event to kick off their Coming Together Around Military Families project, an initiative to reach professionals who work with children in communities highly impacted by deployments with additional support and training. Installations that are currently part of the Coming Together Around Military Families project are Fort Bliss, Texas; Fort Bragg, North Carolina; Fort Campbell, Kentucky; Fort Carson, Colorado; Fort Drum, New York; Fort Hood, Texas; Fort Lewis, Washington; Fort Riley, Kansas; Fort Stewart/Hunter Army Airfield, Georgia; Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, North Carolina; Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, California; and Eglin Air Force Base, Florida. tmas uses a wordless book, Tell Me Your Story, published by MCEC, for its program. At the event, a facilitator models how to use a wordless book with the children, and then parents and children engage in various activities that encourage language development, pre-reading, and pre-math skills. These activities all use common household materials and are adaptable to children of all ages and abilities. You may want to try some of these with your child.
