My Students

Do you remember when you were learning to read trying to learn all the phonics and literacy skills. With the technology we have today, learning phonics and literacy skills can be made fun and interesting.

My students are in kindergarten.

They do not have a lot of literacy skills which are needed to read. The only place most of them are exposed to reading is at school. Many of them do not have books at home or have never been read to. Because they love technology, a NOOK could be used to teach them necessary skills for reading and make it fun. My students come from a diverse socioeconomic community. Our school is a Title 1 school with 75% of the children being on free and reduced lunch. The children come from a variety of ethnically diverse backgrounds ranging from Native American to Hispanic to Asian and Caucasian. Our school district can not afford to buy new technology such as NOOK tablets which would be great to help my students learn phonics and literacy skills. I want my students to be successful readers and to love reading. A NOOK tablet will help them build a foundation to be successful readers.

My Project

Children must have a foundation of phonics and literacy skills to be a successful reader. The NOOK tablet will help my students learn these necessary skills and show them that technology is another way to get information. It will show them that you do not have to have a book from the library to read. It will allow them to be exposed to reading books using technology. The NOOK can also be used to increase their oral reading skills and reading comprehension. Every student needs to learn to read and the NOOK tablet can help them build a foundation for reading. It can allow me to show them ways that will be fun tor them to learn to read.

My students need technology to learn literacy and phonics skills to become good readers.

They need to know how you can use technology to find read books to read on the NOOK or any other technical device. They love technology and find it interesting. It would be a great resource tool to have in the classroom since most of them do not have access to technology at home.
