Reading websites I like

Here are a few websites that I have found that I like:

http://www.unitedthroughreading.org/documents/whyreadaloud.pdf
(I like this because it's a quick reference that could be provided to parents showing the importance of reading aloud with your child.  There are just some one sentence reasons and the site puts the reasons in bold print...drawing your attention there.)

http://www.reading.org/
(This seems to be a great site for teachers as well as parents....lots of resources. This site may be a little harder for some parents to navigate if they are not willing to put in a little time.)

http://journal.naeyc.org/btj/200303/readingaloud.pdf
(The first sentence in this article stresses that the single most important activity for building knowledge for eventual success in reading is reading aloud to children....I strongly agree. 
What I really liked on this site was that it is broken down into sections:  "reading aloud to babies", "reading aloud to toddlers", and so on and it gives lots of ideas and suggestions for reading aloud to each different age group.
