  3. Teaching Literacy in the 21st Century "In their new literacy and technology position statement, the International Reading Association (2001) suggested that 'traditional definitions of reading, writing, and viewing, and traditional definitions of best practice instruction --derived from a long tradition of book and other print media -- will be insufficient.'  This position statement recommends new strategies for students and teachers as they use new and varied forms of information and communication technology.“ -- Julie Coiro(2003) p. 11 of NH Literacy Action Plan

Relevant Standards • National Educational Technology Standards (NETS) for Students • American Association of School Libraries (AASL) Standards for the 21st Century Learner • Partnership for 21st Century Skills • NH 306.42 Information and Communication Technologies (ICT Literacy Standards) • GLEs/GSPs

  6. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone A novel by J.K. Rowling My favorite book is Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone by J.K. Rowling. It’s very exciting and makes you want to read more. There are a lot of characters, spells and creatures in the book. Some parts are very interesting, so it’s pretty hard to get bored by the book. The book tells about an evil wizard that tries to steal the Sorcerer’s Stone and Harry tries to stop him. Can he do it? You’ll have to find out by reading it yourself. Scott
