Competency 9: Internet

While using www.google.com, I found the website Reading Rockets at www.readingrockets.org. This website caters to teachers, parents, and librarians. In my opinion, the main goal of the website is to help children learn how to read and encourage children to keep reading. Reading Rockets has resources such as tips to help struggling readers and suggested books for children to read. The webiste also has podcasts which include interviews with authors for both children and parents with information about the authors' lives and the books they have published. I chose this website to include in my blog because, besides what I have listed, it has an abundance resources and tips that can assist librarians to help encourage children to read.
