Capturing Struggling Readers:

 This post was about capturing struggling readers. She gave a personal story about a parent from a classroom that was worried about her son and his reading level. The student felt very "out of it" because he couldn't read like his peers and he couldn't talk about the books his friends were reading because he couldn't read like them. She gave many different resources on how to help students who are struggling readers. I commented saying that this was a very informative post and that I think the resources she gave were very helpful for students. Her post was mostly about how audible books were the best source for children to use to help them to read better. I told her this was great because children can access audible books anywhere because it can be done on an iPod or iPad or any kind of tablet. This make its easier for the child to actually listen to the books because he/she can do it anywhere. Which is amazing!

Promoting Summer as a Time for Family Fun, Bonding and Learning:

This post was about her giving parents specific activities during the summer. She gives examples of how/when parents can read to their children and do other games with them to keep them learning all year long.  I commented saying that this was a great idea because students often shut their brains off when school is over and sometimes just forget everything they have learned the previous year in school. I also told her the activities she picked were very realistic for parents that work all the time. She said that parents could read to their children every morning during breakfast or even let them play online leaning games. Those are very practical for parents because they do not always know exactly what to do with children and sometimes they do not have the resources either.
