My Project

Help me give my students reading resources that will help them learn, grow, and advance. All students deserve the best education has to offer.

I want to offer my students from kindergarten to second grade the opportunity to expand their knowledge with new devices that will help them become better readers.

For this project, I am requesting 2 Kindle reading devices for kids. These devices will be available during library time in order to reach more students. Students will use the devices to read or listen to books online while following along with the on screen pages. The reading scanner pens will also be available for students to scan and listen to some of their favorite books during library time. These pens will give students an opportunity to see and hear the stories they love and increase comprehension. By following along with these two different devices, students can independently hear stories being read with fluency and clarity. This will help students increase their ability to read with fluency and accuracy. The teacher pay teacher card will help build resources that students can use at home to help increase reading comprehension skills.
