The Share a Story, Shape a Future week-long Literacy Blog Tour starts on Monday (March 8 – 14). This year’s theme is It Takes a Village to Raise a Reader.

Every day is hosted by a different blog and has it’s own theme.

• M: The Many Faces of Reading
  Host: Terry Doherty @Scrub-a-Dub-Tub
• Tu: Literacy My Way/Literacy Your Way
  Host: Susan Stephenson @the Book Chook
• W: Just the Facts: The Nonfiction Book Hook
  Host: Sarah Mulhern @The Reading Zone
• Th: Reading Through the Ages: Old Faves & New Classics
  Host: Donalyn Miller @the Book Whisperer
• F: Reading for the Next Generation
  Host: Jen @Jen Robinson’s Book Page

I talked about and attended this event last year, and wanted to be involved this year. Though I never got around to helping with the planning, organizers are allowing me to participate in the tour anyway. My post here on Tuesday will address Literacy My Way/Literacy Your Way.

So how do you take a blog tour?

Start by visiting the Share a Story blog every day.

There will be an ongoing discussion there based on questions posted daily. In addition, there will be a link to that day’s theme Host. The Host will then have a list of links to posts addressing that theme.

Got it? Good!

Look for something special here on Tuesday.
