Early Learning

Lambton County Library has the following resources available for kids with a focus on early learning.

Theme Kits

Theme kits contain books, craft suggestions, puppets, rhymes and fingerplays, and more, all selected to complement a particular theme. Theme kits are available for a 3-week loan period.

Decodable Books

Decodable books are designed to help learners sound out words using decoding strategies rather than guessing from pictures or predicting from other cues. These books focus on spelling patterns that the reader can decode, given their existing knowledge of letter and sound relationships.
