IRA Newsletter Project: Effective Literacy Website #1


Reading Rockets. Launching young readers! (http://www.readingrockets.org) is a national multimedia literacy initiative offering information and resources on how young kids learn to read, why so many struggle, and how caring adults can help.
The goal for Reading Rockets is to bring the 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. The award winning PBS television program that Reading Rockets produces about reading and early education can be viewed online at any time. The video series featuring effective teaching strategies, children’s authors, reading experts, and professional development webcast are readily available.
Reading Rockets creates and disseminates free, evidence-based information about reading through three major services: PBS television programs, online services, and professional development opportunities. You’ll also find links in celebrating the joy of reading and writing with the daily children's literature quiz, reading adventure packs, fun printable, quotable quotes, and web widgets.
 I find Reading Rockets an effective literacy website because it provides research based strategies to teachers, parents, administrators, librarians, childcare providers, and anyone involved in helping a young child become a strong, confident reader.
