Welcome to our new Reading site

27/3/2013

 
Last year, SLANZA re-launched our main website, using a new platform. At that time, we began a review of the SLANZA wiki, and the decision was made to transfer the wiki content to a new site as well.

A team of SLANZA members led by Miriam Tuohy and including Carole Gardiner, Karen Carswell and Bridget Schaumann have been working for about six months on this new site for SLANZA members and the staff and students of your schools.

We know that large numbers of the SLANZA community use the wiki we set up nearly 4 years ago, but to ensure better support and maintenance of the wiki, we have decided to move the reading related content to this purpose-built SLANZA Reading site. The new site offers us improved functionality over the old wiki.

Regular users of the wiki need to note a couple of things:  
  • The new site is primarily for reading lists.  
  • The Wetpaint wiki we have been using will be discontinued at the end of Term 1.
  • We know from our site statistics that the wiki's most viewed pages are the reading lists but we are aware that some people may still be using links from the wiki to external sites. If you regularly use links from the wiki, we advise you to save them to your bookmarks (or whatever curation system you use). This new site will include links to reading-related research and resources only.

We hope you find the new site useful. We welcome your feedback!

The links under Categories at the right hand side don't seem to work but I found the links across the green bar at the top - great!

Thanks Pamela. The Categories link on the right-hand side of this page relate to entries on the blog, the list of categories will grow a bit as we make updates to the site and categorize/blog about what's included in those updates.

The main navigation menu is indeed the green bar at the top :-)

This is just fantastic. No excuses for us not finding the right book for the right student now.... should be our first port of call. Congratulations Team this is worth (to us) all the effort you have put in. THANK YOU

Great site for sourcing resources for teaching staff and finding the right book under a genre for students. Well done Slanza.

I would love to have a reading list for 'Homosexuality'. Our Level 3 students are using this for their themed reading at the moment and I need help to find more text at their level.
