Technology to Aid in Teaching and Reinforce Reading Skills

Funded Nov 13, 2018

I can't express how much I appreciate your support in helping to obtain Chromebooks for my classroom. The students use them almost every day! I am able to break the students into groups and give them more individualized attention, focusing on teaching skills that they need. Some of them work on the Chromebooks and go onto programs like Read Theory and MobyMax, which allow them to practice improving skills (spelling, vocabulary, phonics, reading comprehension, etc) on their individual reading levels. Others, work with me on learning reading and writing fundamentals. At some point during the week, all of the students rotate through stations and are able to utilize our new learning tools.

Not only have the Chromebooks been a great academic addition to the classroom, the whole process of using DonorsChoose has been a positive one. The students were all surprised when I told them that the project had been funded. They were amazed that strangers would donate money to purchase something for them. It taught them that despite all of the negativity that they hear on the news, there are people in the world that are willing to go above and beyond for strangers.

Your generosity is sincerely appreciated, and we are so very lucky to have been chosen to receive your gifts to achieve our goal.”

With gratitude,

Mrs. Walton
