After typing into the search blank on Google.com "children learning to read," I stumbled upon this webpage provided by Soho Center's National Children's Literacy Information. One thing I found interesting is several of the tips the page gave in order to help children learn to read. For example, I said to practice language sounds, which is something I had never thought about. It gave suggestions such as asking children to make several rhymes in discover connections in sounds. It also suggested taking words apart by there sounds and putting them back together.
While I realize that for most people this isn't going to be relevant until they have children themselves one day, if they do at all, I personally will have use for this type of information as an education major. Of course I know the typical guidelines such as reading to children every day, having them read to you, teaching the alphabet, etc. but I didn't realize there was a connection between children's ability to read and they're ability to create connections between sounds. This will help me in my future career.
I felt like overall this webpage was informative and relevant. The information was also reliable and of good qualaity, as far as I can tell. I felt like it was a well established society and that they had accurate information. Finally, the layout of the website was easy to read and use, which makes it a lot easier to do reasearch.
