This week I discovered a new way to bookmark the web: Delicious. Delicious allows one to bookmark websites and tag them for organization. Once you have set-up a Delicious account and have websites bookmarked, you can access your bookmarks using any computer with internet access.
Here are the two websites I bookmarked for this assignment. I will be adding more websites in the coming weeks. So let us begin!
The site has tabs for Parents, Teachers, Librarians, Principals, and Other Professionals.
Under the “For Librarian” tab are their top 12 resources, including:
a. Videos of over 80 award winning authors and illustrators
b. Themed booklists
c. Librarian toolkit
“This free toolkit, developed by Reading Rockets and the Association for Library Services to Children and the Association of School Librarians of the American Library Association, contains resources to make it easy for librarians to offer community forums, discussions, and workshops for parents, teachers, and caregivers on how to support children's reading achievement.”
The site also offers free Newsletters:
a. Rocket Blasts allows you to receive an e-mail each weekday morning with the latest news concerning “reading, literacy, early childhood, and elementary education issues.”
It is also available on weekly bases.

b. Reading Rockets News is a monthly newsletter.
c. Growing Readers offers tips for raising strong readers and writers.
It is mostly for parents and is used by schools and libraries as a resource.

This is just the tip of the iceberg of helpful information and resources available.
Various short videos using rhyme and song-for babies, toddlers and preschoolers
“Children get ready to read long before they start Kindergarten.
You can help by singing, talking, and playing with the children in your care.
Watch our videos to learn fun songs and rhymes, and how they help build readers!”

(I also added a couple more bookmarks but they are for my ECED course.)
I like Reading Rockets too. There are so many good articles to read in the newsletter.
