Every child wants to seek answers to their questions, but some cannot read the text that matches their intellect and maturity. Almost twenty percent of the students in my classroom face severe learning challenges that hinder their ability to work independently. The C-Pen is a device that reads any text to a child anywhere! With this device in our classroom, all students can access the same information as their peers. This builds confidence in students because they can develop their ideas and share them with peers. True learning comes from the synergy between inquisitive minds and helps students develop higher level thinking and problem solving skills they need for a technologically advanced world.
