Too many of our students read below grade level. Some of these students participate when I'm modeling through the mini lessons however, they struggle to work with a partner and especially when its time to work independently. Learning to identify letters and sounds, and sight words using websites such as Starfall.com and Fundations, will help support students learn to read. These computers I'm asking for will be placed in a center in the classroom where the students can work independently on mastering letters, sounds, sight words, and reading books on their levels, privately. Many of these students are embarrassed about their reading levels so working on these skills privately is very important to them. Unfortunately, my students do not have computers at home so working on these foundational skills at home is not an option. It has to be done at school and it is important to me that they feel comfortable.
