Millers To Perform Concert For SDPB Teen Activities Set For Yankton Library developed - two nutritional activities and two physical activities accompanied each children’s book - it was tested in Head Start, summer reading, community rec, after school programs and pre-schools. “Our transdisciplinary team spent five years testing the program to make sure it is evidence-based and ready for use in a multitude of avenues,” Stluka said. The resulting data showed children who participated in iGrow Readers were more likely to try new foods and ask their parents for nutritional items when they grocery shopped together. “In the end, children became aware of nutritional information and have a more positive attitude toward healthy eating and increased physical activity,” Wells said. Through iGrow Readers, parents, teachers and childcare providers can access the curriculum online for free. The only item they need to purchase or check out from their local library is the storybook. “When we selected books, we made sure they were not only engaging and colorful, but readily available,” Wells said. iGrow Readers also includes eight Native American storybooks which come with Native American-focused lessons that in addition to healthy eating and physical activity, also promote Oceti Sacowin Essential Understandings for Native American programming. An added benefit to iGrow Readers is that it can have a positive impact on an entire family. “Data showed that children can have an impact on parents’ eating and activity habits because they request healthier foods when at the grocery store,” Wells said. iGrow Readers is categorized by grade.
