In our classroom, we work with reading strategies so as to better our reading ability. Coming from a low, socio-economic school, a great number of our children lack the knowledge for using technology. One of the main ways to build better readers is to hear other readers read.
By having an iPad in our classroom, my students will be able to use technology to listen to other readers read through various online read-alouds. By listening to reading, my students will have a better understanding of fluency and the rate at which stories and passages should be read. This iPad will allow my students to access technology that is not available in their homes.
