Our school is unique in that it truly reflects the diversity of our community. In our inclusive setting, we have students of various abilities, modalities, and strengths. Our classrooms and instructional choices need to match our students' dynamic needs so that together we continue to learn and thrive. First grade lays the foundation for reading skills. With foundational skills set, first grade is where students can truly begin to build a love for reading. Providing a literacy rich classroom with multiple opportunities and forms of reading each day, will aid in providing readers of every ability and modality the chance to fall in love with a good book. Because we do serve students with various needs, we have to provide multiple ways to access curriculum that provide opportunities for independence. Technology is a great way to match both of these requirements. We already use iPads for many of our students with special needs, so including technology in reading is a natural progression.
