Read All About It- Important things to look at online this week by Dr. Sam Bommarito

As I said last week, I’m adding a new feature to my blogging routine. Each week, I will scour the internet and find important posts that you shouldn’t miss. The descriptions of these posts will be brief, hence the title Read All About It.  

Here are some things I noticed this week- The week of February 9^th.

THIS WEEK’S HEADLINES

David Harrison just got an article published in the California Reader. The article will be available soon, but in the meantime, he described it on his blog: LINK.

LitCon’s Virtual conference is officially open now:

Here’s the link to the conference: LINK. Note that registered attendees can start seeing the on-demand sessions TODAY. If you are not registered, here is a LINK to register. Dr. Donna Scanlon is the keynote speaker, and the list of on-demand presentations is nearly endless. They cover a variety of important literacy topics. SEE YOU THERE!

Julius Anthony was interviewed by Sarah Thompson, a local TV personality in St. Louis. The show is called City Corner. I look forward to seeing the segment air. I’ll put it in the Headline post when it does. In the meantime, visit my blog interview with Julius about his amazing literacy project. He now has 18 sites across the St. Louis region where children can relax and read books relevant to them. Please see the blog interview I did with him about his book LINK.

Be on the lookout for my upcoming blogs. This week, I’ll be speaking with Ann Kay about her Rock and Read Project. We’ll find out about the new turn the project has taken. The week after that, we’ll talk to Dr. Latisha Smith. She calls herself an avid writer. She has a full-time job in education,  but still finds time to author numerous children’s books. She calls herself an avid writer. I have to agree. The timing for talking about her books couldn’t be better. After all, it’s Black History Month. And there’s more to come after that, including Dr. Chase Young and Rachel Gabriel.

So those are this week’s headlines. Until next week:

Happy Reading and Writing

Dr. Sam
