IRA Newsletter Project: Effective Literacy
Website # 2
The second
website I will be reviewing or using is ReadWriteThink. The website url
is (www.readwritethink.org). It aims is
mostly on promoting reading and writing frpm K-12. At ReadWriteThink Organization, their mission is to provide
educators, parents, and afterschool professionals with access to the highest
quality practices in reading and language arts instruction by offering the very
best in free materials. Readwritethink has been partner with
International Literacy Association, National Council of Teacher of English, and
supported by funding from the Verizon
Foundation. This is an effective website due to it promote a free literacy
that would assist teachers to deliver their lessons in the classroom.
The home page contains an overview
presentation of the site; a series of video demonstrations, each focusing on a
different feature of the site or topic area; and session presentations that
allow you to watch conference sessions at your convenience. At the same time,
it has a ready to use modules in different grade levels from Kindergarten to 12th
grade. ReadWriteThink also provides
classroom-tested, evidence-based lesson plans, printouts, and strategy guides
for the Classroom Resource and Professional Development sections. They also
provide resources for Parent & Afterschool section.
All content on ReadWriteThink is reviewed
and updated by at least two literacy educators. Reviewers serve on a volunteer
basis, use an Internet-based system to complete reviews, and can review
different types of content, from lesson plans to booklists to out-of-school
resources, depending on their areas of expertise. Most
of the time, ReadWriteThink relies on experienced literacy educators to write
and review all the content that appears on the site. Therefore, if you need
lessons plans, activities, or other ideas you'd like for your class, this is
the website to look for.
