This blog is about the //Road to Reading// intervention program (Blachman & Tangel, 2008). It is designed as a resource for teachers and teacher-educators nationwide. While students in Syracuse University teacher preparation programs take classes that include video footage from the research projects that led to the //Road to Reading// commercial text, students and teachers in other communities do not have the opportunity to receive such training and must “make their own way” using the //Road to Reading// manual.

I created this blog to serve as an online resource presenting user-friendly information to teachers (and students preparing to become teachers) about how to effectively and efficiently implement //Road to Reading//. The blog discusses my own experiences and includes multimedia components. Most notably, I have created video clips of a //Road to Reading// lesson with a six-year-old beginning reader. Look for the **Videos tab** of the blog to view each step of a Red Level //Road to Reading// lesson!

Please feel free to leave comments on the **Home tab** of the blog. This blog is something I intend to develop further even after this //Literacy and Technology// class ends, so I am very interested in your suggestions for what other content you would find helpful.
