Reading is the key to academic success, and getting students to learn some of the basic reading skills can be a challenge. With technology being the wave of the future, if my students can get the iPad 2 in their hands they will sail away with reading. The iPads will be used during small group instruction. While working with another group the students will use the technology to work on phonics and phonemic awareness skills, vocabulary, and comprehension by way of iReady reading apps. Taking this approach will keep the students engaged, since this is usually the first item a student will pick. Having this in the classroom will motivate the students and get them excited to read. With this program my students will have reading success.
