I used Google.com to perform the search "podcasts on reading." I found this podcast: Reading Rockets which is a national multimedia project that offers research-based and best practice information on teaching kids to read and helping those who struggle. I selected from Podcast and Videos: An interview with author Jon Scieszka on Reading Motivation, which is located at this url:

I selected this podcast because it discusses the way this author as a teacher motivated students to read.

Competency 2: Related Blog
I used Blog Search: http://blogsearch.google.com/?ui=blg to search for blogs. The Joy of Children's Literature blog was selected because it is maintained by a professor of children's literature and literacy methods. This blog is related to my topic because it provides current related topics and valuable resources to aid in motivating the young reader.

Webcast focuses on struggling readers
A free School Library Journal webcast sponsored by Capstone Publishers will bring together a panel of experts in reading, media center services, and children’s literacy--including school librarians, educators, and a representative from Capstone Press and Stone Arch Books--to cover a range of processes, programs, and ideas that can bolster reading skills, comprehension, and literacy in the K-6 library and classroom. The webcast will be held from 2:00 to 3:00 p.m. eastern time on Wednesday, October 8.
Attendees will learn best practices to engage struggling and reluctant readers, discover multi-level reading resources for classroom and school library integration, and pick up techniques and programming ideas that will encourage the use of fiction and nonfiction. Time will be reserved for questions and answers at the end of the webcast.
