Looking for resources, writers, and top blogs: "Literacy Strategies/Strategies for Struggling Readers"???

I'm looking for people who want to write about strategies for struggling readers/getting past learning challenges. (the blog is a PR 4 now and is increasing. I believe it gets 5-10k unique visitors a month). This is growing quickly and becoming a resource to both parents and students. If you want to help struggling readers and their parents and are a good writer, this is a great way to use your skills.

I'm also looking for the top websites, blogs, and resources in this area??? I'm an educator and social media guy, but want to know what primary and secondary educators think.

If you already blog in this area, please feel free to drop your own URL in the discussion.

Thanks for all your help! Have a great week!

Take a look at the archive in Angela Maiers' Blog. She has a lot of old posts, resources and presentations on this topic.

One of the best resources I have found is Tools for Reading, Writing, and Thinking. I also need resources in this area, and will be following your forum. Can we get the url for the blog you referenced?
