My Students

Our Classroom Kindle Project is taking off! And students are enjoying reading more and more!

Most adults think that teenagers don't like to read.

That's not the case. It's just that students like to choose the books they read instead of being forced to read books their teacher assigns. Last year, I launched The 1,000,000 Word Challenge at my school. It was a huge success. Students read more than ever before. But there was one problem: Some books got lost, others never came back, and a few got tattered in backpacks.

My Project

That's why this year, I'm trying to acquire a class set of Kindles. We're up to 12 so far. The students love the Kindles; there are so many advantages (e.g., built-in dictionary, change-the-font-size, text-to-speech). My favorite thing, though, is that my physical classroom library (now with 500 titles) is a place where students can shop for books. But all those books remain on the shelf because nearly the entire library is also on the Kindles.

I believe in the Classroom Kindle Project because I believe in reading.

I've been a teacher for a long time, and the students who like to read are the ones who do better in all their subjects. Thank you very much for helping on this project.
