Let My Class Read Together!

My students need a document presenter to read the same book at the same time.

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Goetz's classroom raised $461

My Students

Have you ever felt the frustration of listening to someone read a story and wanting to go back and see a word that you just couldn't catch? My students are 2nd graders in a dual-language classroom, and there often aren't enough copies of the books in each language for students to have their own.

My students are 2nd graders in a New York City public school.

They are in a dual-language program where they are learning in both French and English. Half of the students speak English at home, and half of the students speak French at home, but in school they each spend half the day in each language.

My Project

I am requesting a document presenter. This neat little device will hook up to a projector in order to project the page I am reading, allowing students to follow along with their eyes, as well as their ears. It will also be used during my mathematics lessons, allowing students a greatly enhanced view of the small manipulatives that I use to teach many mathematical concepts.

By providing a visual focus, this projector will both help students to make connections between the sound of words and their appearance on the page (which is difficult for many who are learning a new language) and will also provide a visual focus that will help those who have trouble focusing on read-alouds.
