Belinda Lynn Welles ED638 fall 2022 Dr. M. Rivera Effective Literacy Website Review # 7 Reading Rockets
For my #7 Effective Literacy Review, I reviewed Reading Rocket https://www.readingrockets.org. Reading Rocket is an excellent resource site for anyone who helping a Struggling reader toward success. Reading Rockets is a national public media literacy initiative offering information and resources on how young kids learn to read, why so many struggle, and how caring adults can help. Reading Rockets project received the David M. Rubenstein Prize in 2016. The project is made up of leading researchers and experts in the field of reading. It is also recognized as the top honor in the Library of Congress Literacy Awards program. Reading Rockets' mission is to take that research-based and best-practice information and make it available to as many people as possible through the power and reach of television and the Internet. Launched in 2001, Reading Rockets is an education initiative of WETA (Public Television Music for Greater Washington). In Reading Rocket, you can find the following from the home menu board; Resources for teaching reading, How to Help struggling Readers, Reading Topics from A-Z, and Children’s book and children’s books & Authors. You’ll find a hundred of articles on teaching reading, classroom strategies, in-classroom video, parent tips, and much more. This is one of my favorite sources of resource and one of the most effective literacy websites no doubt.
