I only recently introduced it to one of my students, as I want to encourage them to keep working on their decoding skills without getting dependent on this digital tool. \r\n\r\nMy 5th grader in the picture was feeling particularly discouraged a few weeks ago because he had been embarrassed in a whole class setting, due in part to his reading disability. I showed him the reading pen, how to use it, and discussed how he could use it in class. It took a bit of practice for us both. He went to get the book that he was \"reading\" during independent reading time in class and told me he was happy he could finally find out what the book is about. I especially love that this one comes with ear buds, so he can use it in class without other students hearing the audio.\r\n\r\nI reserved the second reading pen for a current 4th grader, but I have other students who may need it even more than he does. I am grateful to have these specialized tools to help our most vulnerable students experience the power of the written word.","fullyFundedDate":1752090550580,"projectUrl":"project/dyslexic-students-need-assistive-technol/9381222/","projectTitle":"Dyslexic Students Need Assistive Technology","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Wu","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10044458_orig.jpg?crop=1280,1280,x1481,y816&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1751944761187","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10044458"},{"teacherId":796755,"projectId":9303241,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous contributions to my classroom.
