In PLC's we discussed creating a digital portfolio of best literacy strategies and ideas that can be posted in one location for everyone to use. So our journey begins as we start the wonderful process of adding great ideas and resources to various pages on this wiki space. Feel free to upload documents, weblinks, pictures, etc. of great ways to teach various skills or concepts in literacy. Teachers can upload research based resources that everyone can use.

We feel like this can be a collaborative site that would benefit all of us. So let's start looking for those ideas and get them on the pages. Remember, literacy is our big rock. ||
