Reading Rockets


      The first website that I'm going to choose that has impact on literacy is Reading Rockets. (https://www.readingrockets.org) This is a website that I use often and I chose this website because it offers a lot of resources that helps struggling readers. It offers information and resources explaining how young kids learn to read, why so many struggle. The resources help readers build phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension, which are the 5 essential skills a good reader must have. Reading Rockets make learning to read or reading interesting and engaging for kids.  There many useful resources there that is not only accessible to teachers but also for parents at home. 

      In addition to all the information and resources available for students, Reading Rockets also offer opportunities for teacher to take online courses on how to teach reading, classroom strategies, as well as reading tips for parents I believe that this is one of the best online learning websites that make huge impact on literacy and writing.
