Share a Story — Shape a Future blog tour

There are lots of blogs about teaching, children’s literature, and raising readers. This week there’s a new way to see some of what is out there: a blog tour of practical, usable, everyday ideas for working with readers.

The Share a Story — Shape a Future blog tour event begins March 9, 2009 and lasts one week. There’s a specific theme each day, and each day a group of bloggers will sharing ideas around that theme.

Daily themes include Raising Readers, Selecting Reading Material, Reading Aloud, A Visit to the Library, and Technology and Reading (all topics we love here at Reading Rockets!). Each theme will have a handful of bloggers writing about that topic. Enjoy!
