My students are 4th graders in a low-income area in New York City. Most of them don't have grade-level books readily available to them and believe it or not, most do not have a library card. Therefore, a love of reading is very difficult to instill in them. I want them to be excited to come to their guided reading group and learn how to read a book that is geared toward their independent or instructional level. One way to do this is to encourage them to become excited and enthusiastic toward reading by incorporating technology and reading books on a Kindle. I don't think any student would be opposed to reading a book on a Kindle!
