The ultimate goal of my students is to build their foundational skills to effectively read with fluency and comprehension. As a Reading Specialist, I sit side-by-side with my students to facilitate this goal. Being able to sit next to them allows me to show them specific patterns, point our errors, easily help them identify specific text, assist them in scooping words to build fluency, among many other things. Now that my students will be learning virtually, a document camera will allow my students to feel as though they are working with me by my side, as they did in the classroom. My students will be able to easily and directly follow what I am showing them, as if I were next to them. I will also be able to directly model new strategies for students as they learn syllabication, the process of breaking words into syllables, to read. A document camera will facilitate learning and allow me to provide my students instruction that a Chromebook alone cannot provide. Donating to this project will enhance my students' experience and growth in reading. Let's help students become successful readers together!
