While it is commonly believed that the Web represents a boost for reading education, this is not always the case, says Kathleen Cassidy, speech pathologist. Cassidy believes that the Internet, and instant messaging in particular, causes children to learn a language of fragmented patterns and communication skills. The Web can be positive for literacy, however, since it provides a wide range of resources that parents and educators can use to discover the best way to teach children how to read. Reading Rockets, for example, is a website that provides information and advice about reading education in a well-organized format. It covers many topics and includes both quick tips and in-depth advice. The site is one portion of a project created by WETA, a public television and radio station in Washington, D.C. One of the most valuable sections of the site is Strategies to Help Kids Who Struggle. This illustrates what struggling looks like and feels like to parents, teachers, and children. The National Education Association (NEA) has a website that offers tips for the parents of young children to help them help their children with reading. Reading Is Fundamental (RIF) is the oldest and biggest family nonprofit organization in the United States. It was founded in 1966, and its website offers resources, advice, articles, lists of recommended books, and information about professional development programs for teachers.
