The iPad will help my ELL students succeed in learning to read. With the use of reading programs, my students will be able to focus on key literacy concepts so that they can succeed in school. This iPad will allow my students the confidence they need to strive to their reading goals and become the best readers they can be. As a teacher in a low-income/high poverty school district, my students are faced with several challenges both in and out of the classroom. My goal is to keep their time in school as simple and provide them with a comfortable setting that they will feel confident succeeding in.
