The Buzzword is ENTERTAINMENT

As part of Buzzword’s programming, we distribute our signature “BUZZ Boxes” to local families to help excite children from birth to age five as well as their caregivers about new words that are all around them. These family engagement kits come complete with a high-quality children’s book and enriching activities that support early literacy skills and development.

This month’s Buzzword is ENTERTAINMENT, which means “something that amuses or interests. Our ENTERTAINMENT Activity Book will give children - ages birth to five - and their caregivers the opportunity to connect through science, art, music, and early literacy activities.

Caregivers are encouraged to read through “Zuri Ray and the Backyard Bash” by Tami Charles with their child. Then, they should go through the different activities and experiments in the ENTERTAINMENT Activity Book. Time should be spent explaining the meaning of the book’s words and connecting them to their child’s life experiences.

We have also provided an ENTERTAINMENT book list of recommendations from the Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh for further reading.
