Reading rockets (http://www.readingrockets.org/)
offers information and resources that help kids and adults both learn and
improve with its vast array of strategies and techniques. It is a national
multi-media literacy spot. As stated in
the website, “the goal is to bring reading research to life- to spread the word
about reading instruction and to present “ what works” in a way that parents
and educators can understand and use.”
An incident caused the naming of the website, Reading
Rocket, came to be. Louisa Moats, a researcher, who found it immensely
difficult to teach reading named her article “Teaching Reading Is Rocket
Science.” This then became the origin for the Reading Rocket name and its
launching in 2001.
Reading Rockets generates free evidential based
information in relation to reading through three major services: online services,
professional development opportunities, and PBS television program, also
including a social network on Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube. It provides a
vast array of resources about teaching children to read and assists with
students who struggle to read in variation forms such as videos, articles, and
much more.
Explore and find out for yourself the rich
array of information that will greatly benefit a child today.
