Reading Ready Time: Meet the Indianapolis Indians

Reading Ready Time is a virtual library experience specifically designed to help children 3-6 years old get ready to read and connect with the Library. Please take 2 minutes to complete our survey: https://airtable.com/appbaJSLxl2MDgN0... Survey responses are critical for our reporting and funding.

Our own home AAA team, the Indianapolis Indians, share a bit of what goes on behind the scenes at Victory Field. Give the kids a chance to stretch and move along with Rowdie, the team mascot.

So many ball game options. Try a few of these with your children: https://earlyimpactlearning.com/ball-...

Science, art, and balls?! What’s not to like? Have children come up with hypotheses for each experience. Ask lots of why questions – why is this mark larger than that? Why is this mark darker? https://simplyfullofdelight.com/paint...

And, of course, there are lots of books about balls. This list ( https://indypl.bibliocommons.com/v2/l... ) includes wordless books, a wonderful way to get children talking through a story. There is also a collection of books for kids about baseball: https://indypl.bibliocommons.com/v2/l... These are for slightly older readers, but, if you have a baseball crazy kid in your life, they will enjoy these titles.
