I teach 30 students with special needs everyday for reading, writing and math resource services. I see them in small groups of 4, 5 and 6, based on their current level of academic and behavior skills. The quantity of paper worksheets to prepare each week is too much. If I can have at least 3 iPads where I can store my lessons and use them daily, I could save a lot of money from copy papers and inks from printing all the resources that I need for my small group instructions. I could store my reading resources digitally such as phonics materials, reading fluency and comprehension passages, writing and math resources. I have a number of students who are struggling especially in the areas of reading. With the iPad, these students can access our district’s paid websites to work on their reading and they can do it with very less teacher supervision.
