5 Information About Our Building Blocks Program Building Blocks is a program especially designed for newborns to 24-month-olds and their caregivers. It provides an environment in which children and their caregivers can begin to develop language, motor and social skills together. This is accomplished through the use of a variety of materials and activities. In play with a purpose, caregivers are encouraged to interact physically and verbally with their child as he or she plays with Library-provided, age-appropriate toys. The physical play aids in the development of a child s ability to move and coordinate his or her movements, the words parents share with their children as they play contribute to the development of infant language skills, and the interaction between children exposes them to social concepts such as sharing and playing together. Play with a purpose is followed by reading time and circle time. In reading time, children and their adults share board books, either reading them aloud or describing the pictures and words they contain. In circle time, a librarian introduces fingerplays, nursery and action rhymes, songs and stories; adults and children are encouraged to read, sing and play along. These activities help develop listening skills and provide models for language acquisition. Fingerplays and action rhymes also help develop fine motor skills, which involve a child s ability to more precisely use their hands and fingers. The same songs, stories and rhymes are used every week to reflect the fact that infants learn best through repetition. Locations that have Building Blocks Brookhaven Northlake-Barbara Loar Salem-Panola Toco Hill-Avis G. Williams Chamblee Redan-Trotti Stone Mountain Tucker-Reid H.
