We are very excited about a new technology addition to our reading program: iPods!!
With support from Mr. Davis, we have been building a library of audio books which have been used in our classes and in 5th and 6th grade reading classes. We now have iPods loaded with the books to check out to our students! We are calling it our “iRead” program.
The iPods will be paired with an actual copy of the book. Listening to the iPod while following along in the book will help students with both fluency and comprehension.
4 Simple Rules for iPod check out
*Students must attend a “Care and Responsibility” class prior to checking out an iPod
*Students will be able to check out the iPods for a week at a time, but can renew them if they aren’t done with the book in that time.
*Parents signature is required for checkout.
*No downloading or deleting of anything on the iPod and no changing of settings.
This is a list of the books/audio that we have available for check-out. We sincerely hope that combining technology with good literature will have a positive impact on our students’ reading. Please call if you have questions or suggestions.
At this time, we are planning on beginning classes and checkout after MAP testing. Attached, you will find the iPod contract.
