My students use Lexia Core to learn letter sounds, word recognition, and sight words which all help with reading! Since they are Kindergarteners, it is essential to help them progress with learning how to read! Currently, my students have the chance to use technology about once a week since we only have three working tablets and one working computer for the class to share. The goal is to get my class to equally use the technology daily. It will be used throughout reading stations and students will rotate so that everyone will have a chance to get onto a laptop or a tablet. I am confident that the programs that we use throughout the school day will strengthen their skills in reading!
