Rolando's Children's Literature Blog Page
Children's Books Rockin' Roland Reviewed
| a. Who is your target audience? Why is this group your target audience? | The target audiences are parents and teachers of elementary aged children, school and public librarians, and early childhood care professionals. The book reviews are intended to give this audience a better understanding of children's books available for use in their teaching curriculum. |
| b. What strategies would you use to help our target audience to access your blog? Why would you use those strategies? | I would send the link as an email attachment to school and public librarians I meet who are interested in obtaining a review of these particular children's books without having to read the entire text. The blog link could be included on my business cards and accessible through my Facebook page. The ability to reach as wide an audience as possible is often done by one-on-one or group discussions, where business cards can be handed out. |
| c. How will you continue to contribute to the knowledge in the field of children's literature? | I will continue reading award winning and positively reviewed children's books and review the older ones that I have not yet read. I will also survey library patron's favorite books and authors in order to read a few of those titles and add book reviews on my blog on those titles as well. |
