Get ready for the Literacy Blog Tour:  It Takes a Village to Raise a Reader coming the week of March 8 2010

Day1 – The Many Faces of Reading
CHANGE Host: Terry Doherty @Scrub-a-Dub-Tub
Topics of the day will encompass the relationship aspect of helping children learn to read: parent-child and teacher-parent partnerships, literacy outreach; and libraries, to name a few.

Day2 – Literacy My Way/Literacy Your Way
Host: Susan Stephenson @the Book Chook
Creative literacy in all its forms (writing, art, computers) will be the topic of the day.

Day3 – Just the Facts: The Nonfiction Book Hook
Host: Sarah Mulhern @The Reading Zone
This is the day for exploring the different genres of nonfiction (biography and memoir, science, nature, math, etc), as well as the use (or not) of historical fiction.

Day4 – Reading Through the Ages: Old Faves & New Classics
Host: Donalyn Miller @the Book Whisperer
Topics include “boy books” and “girl books,” as well as newer titles that fit with some classics we loved as kids.

Day5 – Reading for the Next Generation
Host: Jen @Jen Robinson’s Book Page
Join us as we talk about how to approach reading when your interests and your child’s don’t match. It may be that you don’t like to read but your child does, how to raise the reader you’re not, and dealing with the “pressure” of feeling forced to read.
