Competency 7, Internet

My internet search led me to a great website named AdLit.org.  This website offers resources for parents and educators of kids in grades 4 - 12.  It is a perfect website for librarians who need to access current information on serving reluctant readers at the elementary level.  The articles and information are easy to understand, and is presented by highly qualified people who make it their goal to improve childhood literacy.  AdLit.org also has other sister sites that can be accessed from their website.  One worth checking out is Reading Rockets.org.  This website caters to librarians of younger readers.  Both of these websites offer a newsletter and a good collection of featured video clips.  They both provide wonderful topics on current events related to literacy. 

AdLit.org - All About Adolescent Literacy - http://adlit.org/

Reading Rockets.org - How young children learn to read, why so many struggle, and how caring adults can help.  http://readingrockets.org/ 

I found AdLit.org by entering, "websites for school librarians focusing on reluctant readers" through google.com.
