On the Reef is a series featuring fabulous indie authors from around the blogosphere and beyond. Titles, covers, and blurbs that catch my eye, new releases, great reads… Basically, authors I’d like to highlight and works I’d like to share with my fellow book-loving word nerds. Happy Reading!

I have a little something different this week.
Not a book but a website. And it’s celebrating its 1st birthday. One year of giving high-quality educational resources to early ed teachers across the globe. (Even if you’re not a teacher, there are some fascinating articles on this site. Just saying.) The writer, Norah Colvin, is someone I’m thrilled to be highlighting.
Happy Birthday, Readilearn. đ

It’s brand new. And thank you kindly. đ *happy dance* I’m following my joy and remodeling. Got a virtual facelift. đ

Yay! You don’t need a real facelift! And this one is far less painful, I’m sure! đ

Yeah… I get that a lot. I’m horrible at promoting (or even talking about myself). I rarely even tweet this one or G+ or anything (unless it’s a feature for someone else) so I’m not surprised. Thanks for visiting now, though. đ

Great idea to feature Nora, whose site promotes reading in children. Hopefully they’ll grow up and continue to be great readers as adults.

She has so many resources on there for subjects across the curriculum but, yes, a new generation of readers. That would be excellent. đ Thanks, Luccia.
