Kindle Fires, with audio book support, will help my students access books that are required reading for their classes. My students have several books that are required reading throughout the year. With audio books, they can listen to the story while reading the book.
Research has shown this increases comprehension and vocabulary development. For instance, a student can listen to The Hate U Give while reading it. This would help her understand what is happening in the story and it's flow better than if she was just reading it and couldn't quite read or understand every word. This also helps with the speed of which it takes a student to read through a book. Kindle Fires provide a device they can use and even take home if needed.
