April's Children's Literature Blog Page
a. Who is your target audience? Why is this group your target audience?
|
My target audience are parents, educators, and very young reluctant readers. The reason why I have chosen this target audience is because I feel it is important to supply recommendations on great books that might engage the reluctant reader. Because parents and educators work so closely with children, my blog is a resource where they can read about the books being suggested and be able to introduce them to any children that might find them interesting. |
b. What strategies would you use to help your target audience to access your blog? Why would you use those strategies? |
Strategies that I would use to help my target audience access my blog would be to make the link to my blog available in public spaces. For example, I would ask local libraries if they could post my link on their websites and ask the same for school websites. I would also make flyers with my link and a good reads list. I think these strategies will help me reach a larger portion of my target audience. |
c. How will you continue to contribute to the knowledge in the field of children's literature? |
I will continue to update my blog with new reads and make it a point to continue to learn about my target audience. I also need to keep myself in the loop about new trends that young children might be interested in. |
