My students are in need of headphones to help make their reading more engaging. We want to use a website called, epic! This website allows the students to pick from thousands of books. The teacher can check each students' progress and assign books for them to read. The website reads the story to each student and highlights the words for them as it reads. Also if students do not want the program to read to them, they can click a word they do not know and it will read them that one word. Not only can we use it for this program but many others. Please help my students become aspiring authors and writers!
