http://blog.reading.org/

The website I looked at was http://blog.reading.org/
(I don't know where the underline button is on this post).
This site had interesting information - that Arizona is trying to opt out of NCLB. I didn't know that a state could opt out! They say, however, that the state will lose funding in some schools, so I think RI won't opt out any time soon.

Another site I looked at was readwritethink.org. On this site, there are some great lessons on poetry. I emailed it to myself because my class is learning about poetry. I can't wait to share it with them.

The final website I went to is http://www.reading.org/resources/community/programs.html. It is a listing of Graduate degree programs for literacy. I think this would be neat to look at to see if Providence College is included. I also think that maybe if a teacher was planning to move out of RI, he or she could see if there are other colleges that PC would link with for credit transfers.

I think those lessons on poetry are fun to do! The students would really enjoy participating in them.
