Reading Rockets partners with the following national and regional education organizations, who help us spread the word about effective literacy instruction.
Partner reading is a cooperative learning strategy in which two students work together to read an assigned text. Students take turns reading and provide each other with feedback in order to monitor comprehension.
The Partnership for Reading website offers a database containing abstracts of approximately 460 research studies related to the teaching of reading in grades K-3. These studies have met high standards of research. Browse through the abstracts by category (phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, text comprehension, computer instruction, and teacher education) or search for a topic or author of interest.
The world and its wonders are at your fingertips. Open a book and meet a classical artist, a clever and brave grandmother, and a father and son connected by kites; explore violent but beautiful eruptions, learn how chocolate relies on monkeys; meet a primate and a python — all by just opening a book!
