Developed through the National Reading Initiative, this electronic binder is a tool that helps record how we use readings to inquire into, understand, and discuss reading comprehension and various aspects of literacy and literacy education that relate to reading comprehension. This wiki will offer you the chance to see what and how teacher-consultants and sites have read around this topic, to add to the record, and to think about using such a resource in other areas of work at your site.

WHAT IS A WIKI? A wiki is an evolving knowledge document that is created, revised, and improved BY ITS USERS. This means that it is up to you to add to the wiki, revise prior entries, add keywords and tags that would be useful to make the site more user-friendly, etc. A WIKI IS SHAPED AND IMPROVED BY ITS USERS!

A THANKS TO OUR WIKI SPONSORS: Thanks to the National Writing Project (NWP), its National Reading Initiative (NRI), and the generous support of the Carnegie Foundation.

THANKS TO OUR HOSTS: Thanks also to the Boise State Writing Project (BSWP) for hosting and maintaining the site. BSWP thanks tech liaisons Dianne Ruxton, Marie Wallace, Beth Mills and Angie Goodwin, as well as directors Jeff Wilhelm, Debbie Moore and Jim Fredricksen.

THIS WIKI IS FOR all who are interested in literacy education, reading, and professional development around literacy issues. This site is for NWP directors, TCs and all others who share this interest.

The following tags are the current navigational keywords that organize the wiki.

Resource Topics
* Professional Development
