I strive to instill in my students a love of reading. Reading can take you on all kinds of adventures without leaving your home. For my kids, that is the only way they will go too far-off places. Most of my students struggle with reading grade-level books. But what if this could change and they could read any book they wanted? Through the power of technology, this is possible. Students can access books through the use of adaptive apps that allow them to read along as a story is being read. Suddenly the world of literature comes alive for students who struggle with reading. The world gets a little smaller and an adventure begins!
