I teach in a high poverty neighborhood, in East Texas, where most of my students are English language learners. They all work very hard despite the many challenges they face at home, challenges that I couldn't imagine facing as an adult, let alone as a child. Because of their hard work throughout the year they are able to make great gains in their reading, listening and speaking skills. However, there is still more work to be done in order to become proficient. Many of my students don't have access to this type of technology at home and they would be very excited to use the Nooks. The enjoyment of the Nooks will turn into an enjoyment of reading.
