Ask a Storytime Ninja

We all have questions. Most of us have answers. Fitting question to answer is pretty much the basis of our profession. To that end we introduce Ask a Storytime Ninja, the Storytime Underground’s very own advice column. Do you have a question about any aspect of storytime or early childhood literacy? Ask it here! Your question will be sent out to a group of storytime ninja volunteers, and we will feature both the question and answers on the blog. Do you want to answer questions? Submit your info here and you will get questions emailed to you. You don’t have to answer any question, but you can submit answers as often as you’d like. We will also feature special Storytime Ninjas, so if you know someone who’s an absolute master of early literacy please send us their info so we can ask them to be a Featured Ninja!
