Blogging Niche

I’ve been thinking about how best to organize this “writing/reading niche.” You know — things I would like to say—or get out into the open about reading and writing. So, being the organized person, that I am (that’s a joke—lol) I thought maybe we could outline a few niche ideas.

But anyways, I want this website to be for parents, children, teachers, and writers. I know, I know—you say “how can we do all that.” (Notice I said “WE.”) Here’s what I was thinking we could incorporate into this blog. See what you think——

1. Encouraging children to want to read (why is it important; what can we do; where/when does reading start; how to foster reading; what’s the writers part in all of this?)

2. Providing connection to reading and fun (fun reading and events/activities that parents, teachers, and children can do together to connect the reading experience with a child’s life experience)

3. Providing an outlet for writers’ discussion (to discuss what goals they have for their writing and how to go about that; what goes into writing that’s read, etc. This one is open discussion. I just want to hear what we all think.)

What d’ya say??

Don’t forget to bookmark this site because I’ll pick up here Monday—- sometime, same space.

Blogging with a Purpose

Like so many other blogs—I do have a purpose. I like to write and I like to read and I think it is a shame that some children have so much trouble doing either of these. Sooooo-this next few weeks I thought I would kind of give you an idea of why I write—and read. And I thought that maybe every couple of months we could introduce new topics that might change the direction of our discussions. Well — these are just ideas for starters. I am a writer that writes to promote reading.

I will be back on Wednesday to pick up where we left off—-you know — sometime, same space. Don’t forget to bookmark this site. We will be having some fun discussions!
