Competency #9 Internet

Using Google as my search engine, I found the Vaughn Gross Center for Reading and Language Arts. This is a wonderful website that I didn't know existed! When I clicked on the website, I didn't think it would really pertain to my blog, but as I dug around a little bit, I found it very helpful.

One thing that I found helpful was the materials that were provided. I clicked on the grade level of materials that I wanted and it brought up a plethora of booklets, and professional guides, some of which are downloadable, and some which someone can purchase online through the online store. Even though some materials need to be purchased, it is a wonderful site to get great ideas to help struggling readers.

I chose this website because not only does it have information helpful to struggling readers, but also has information for readers that are in special education. In a library setting, I will have many different readers and this website aids in reaching those learners.

This website is through the University of Texas at Austin.
