Introduction

Technology provides SL a wealth of tools to use in the teaching of reading and the possibilities are endless! In today's media centers students are reading e-books, sharing their stories online on wikis, creating book trailers, blogging as their favorite book character, participating in online book discussions, and taking online literature field trips. The SL should begin by learning the reading curriculum standards. Then work with the teachers as they plan for their reading instruction by bringing them ideas for collaborating to create new and exciting options for their students.

Motivation is often cited as an important factor in reading development and teachers often question how to engage students in this process. These new Web 2.0 participatory resources provide for an exciting and authentic way to motivate students to read. Digital texts and media are allowing students to create and connect to the text through engaging them as active readers and giving purpose to their learning.

The SL is knowledgeable in the areas of children's literature and technology; by participating in reading instruction the SL is afforded the opportunity to combine literature and technology to create an engaging learning experience for students.

Online Web 2.0 Resources for Reading Instruction

Blogs for reader's response to a prompt or classroom connection

Continue classroom discussions online on blog or wiki

Get students excited about reading when they follow KidderLit on Twitter. Everyday they post the first line of a young adult or children's book. The trick is that they don't tell you what the book is or who the author is. A research project perhaps or a challenge between groups, classes or schools? You can also limit the age groups and/or genre of the books that are chosen.

Have students develop messages as historic or fictional characters might have communicated in 140 character tweets - "Historical Tweets"

Create an account that only students access and use it to recommend books. Keep kids reading through the summer. Students will need to be creative in "hooking" their peers to read in only 140 characters.

A new spin on the old cumulative story. Start with you posting a story starter and then use TwitterFall to have students add their part to it.
