My Project

As a reading specialist, I know that students love to be read to and follow along as they hear a story! It helps them become engaged with the story and it’s an excellent way for them to learn fluency. Being able to see the words in front of them as I read, helps them make connections, ask and answer questions, and respond to the story with text details they can see right in front of them. It’s the best way to engage a student in a book and teach reading comprehension.
