With the way technology is advancing our students are spending more and more time with it. So instead of trying to do away with technology I want to invite it into my classroom. These tablets which are specifically for reading will benefit my students in variety of ways. There are many apps to enhance and intervene all my different ranges of students from working on phonics to listening to audio books and even apps where students get to choose from thousands of books titles from the tip of their fingers. With these tablets, my students will be able to choose from a variety of books that will allow them to find a book that starts their love of reading. That is what I strive for in my classroom. I want to encourage and set up a life long love of reading. Not only will it appeal to readers of all levels, it can benefit their comprehension aspect as well. My students already get extremely excited when we have lessons that incorporate technology, but our classroom will be one of a kind when they get read books using a tablet!
