I am a Title One Reading Teacher. I currently teach in an overcrowded New York City elementary school. There are over 1200 students, with our kindergarten and Pre-K housed in another school. Having said that, all students work extremely hard to achieve grade level reading scores.

One major problem that I face is getting children interested in reading. The world of technology has made holding a simple paper- made book almost obsolete. Today's youth simply expect more from their reading experiences.

That is why a Digital Reader is such an awesome item. Imagine a nine year old being able to read their choice of over 160 books holding a new piece of technology. This book will absolutely become the most popular method of reading. The compact size will make it easy to lend so children can bring it home. It would be a compact library.

You can make it possible for my students to experience a modern day version of the joy of reading. I know everyone will benefit from a Digital Reader. Thank you for your consideration.
