I have been receiving the readingrocket newsletter via email for some time.  I always marvel at how many neat educational news articles they are able to share.  Of late I have also subscribed to their podcasts on visits with authors.  The podcasts are interesting and supportive of reading instruction and learning.  The second series of podcasts are really videocasts and are aimed at the teacher role.  What a great way to get top quality Professional Development.  Please go to http://www.readingrockets.org/ and begin your treasure search.  Be sure to share any other interesting finds you discover on this site by adding comments in response to this posting. 

Poetry is such a wonderful way of expression.  It is individual and unique for each and every poet.  School Library Journal has a series of podcasts featuring poets reading their poems.  It is a special experience to hear the poet himself/herself reading the poetry.  There is a dept of understanding that is often missed with other readers. 

Click on the link for routing to the mp3 recordings.  You may subscribe to this resource and have it delivered directly to your computer. 

Happy listening.
