Today's learners spend inordinate amounts of time online; reading via a device is not new to them and will be the way of the future. This year, I am working to create a dynamic classroom library that will offer my students both print and digital copies to read in literature groups, as a class, and for the pure pleasure of reading. We know that reading improves reading and writing, and for ESL/ELD students, this is a crucial area of development if they are to succeed in college and careers. Access to Kindles will provide my students opportunities to access texts that might not otherwise be available to them on our campus or through our public library. Their requests for specific books is impressive: Asimov, Austin, Orwell, etc. They were acutely disappointed to discover that our campus library was not well-stocked in the authors and titles they desire to read. The public library is limited as well, and students must wait to access the books they want. Kindles put novels at their fingertips, which will increase their opportunities to read and thus propel their reading development to new Lexile levels. My hope is to one day have enough Kindles for each student to use in class, but for now my students and I would be ecstatically grateful to receive even one to begin building our classroom library.
