My Students

No matter what their reading level, many students find reading less entertaining than computer and video games and anything they can find on YouTube. eReaders will give me a medium to access books for any interest and any reading level.

Any additional opportunity to read is an additional opportunity to learn new words, practice reading strategies, and strengthen skills learned in the classroom.

My 9th grade students read anywhere from a 2nd grade to a college reading level. Some students have access to the technology, while others do well to have breakfast each morning. Some students are strongly motivated to succeed in high school and pursue college, while others do well to feel motivated to do well in 9th grade English. All students could use the extra motivation to read on a more regular basis.

My Project

In a culture where reading has gone digital, the classrooms of today are quickly falling behind. We have our students reading from their textbooks and rarely get them to computers or allow them to use their iPods and iPhones (or whatever other smart technology they have) to read or complete research; however, not every student has access to this technology.

Having multiple eReaders in my classroom will provide my students with an additional motivator for reading.

Students will be able to check out eBooks from our library, find and purchase books of interest, and improve their literacy skills.
